Ophelia among the Flowers

Odilon Redon (1840 - 1916)

Tate Collection

1905 - 1908

At first, it was an upright study of flowers on a table, but was turned on its side and the table top transformed into a suggestion of rocky landscape and head of Ophelia added. First substantial work by Redon to enter a British public collection.
