Ophelia


Ophelia by Sir John Everett Millias

I have a print of this hanging on my closet door which is right next to my bed. So I lie parallel to Ophelia every night. Ophelia is a character from Hamlet and the scene of Kirsten Dunst floating in water in Melancholia is inspired by this painting. Shakespeare-John Everett-Lars Von Trier, now that's pretty cool.
