Artist's Description
This image is a composite of John Everett Millais’ "Ophelia" with a pose from Auguste Rodin’s "Danaid."
In Shakespeare’s "Hamlet," Ophelia is encouraged to marry Hamlet. When he tells Ophelia, "Get thee to a nunnery…I say we will have no more marriages," Ophelia goes mad. By the end of the play, she’s fallen into a river and drowned.
In Greek mythology, the fifty daughters of Danaus were compelled to marry the fifty sons of his twin brother. All but one of the Danaids kill their husbands on their wedding night and are condemned to spend eternity attempting the impossible task of carrying water in a sieve.
(Excerpt from the book "Revisiting the Classics.")
About Don McCunn
I am a photographer/costumer raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hold a BS in theatre from the University of Texas at Austin and an MA in theatre from UCSB. For me photography is theatre at 1/60th of a second. It gives me particular pleasure to work with talented models to create original imagery inspired by fine art that has been enjoyed for centuries.
