Millais's Ophelia 1851-52

Millais, an exhibition of work by Pre-Raphaelite
John Everett Millais opens at the Tate Britain (through January 13).

"Many of the paintings do have that 'freeze-frame' quality: like stills taken from an imaginary film that Millais is shooting in his head," blogs the Guardian's Peter Bradshaw. "I have to say, however, Ophelia is the most cinematic painting, conceived in pin-sharp deep focus. This picture really does shock me. And I have only just realised quite why I am so fascinated by it."
