OPHELIA

contemporary  pictorialism ,  imagery  and  photographic rendering  of a female character of a  Shakespeare’s related  play

 setting  and  pictorial  photography by Fine Art  Photographer  and  Pictorialist

“ RADAN”   ANDRE   DEVLAEMINCK

character  “Ophelia” :  “ Evi ”

“Radan” ‘s  approach  of  this  dramatic  scene  from  “ The Tragedy  of Hamlet ,  Prince  of  Denmark ” (1599 – 1602 )  is  philosophical .

It is  Fine  Art  Photography used within cultural curiosity and spitituality.

It  is  a  very  pictorial  topic  parallel  with  fine  art  painters  such  as

British Prerafaëlist John Everett Milais (11829 – 1896) , work anno 1851 .

Ophelia  fell  into  the  river  whilst  picking  poppies  and  slowly  drowned singing  all  the  while  …

Most  of  the  flora  and  the  butterfly  in  the  picture,  mentioned  in Shakespeare’s  play ,  are  included  because  of  their  symbolic  value .

The  daisies  and  crowflowers  on  the  garland  of  Ophelia’s  forehead symbolise  “ Childishness and Innocence ”;  the  garland  itself  stays  for “ Chastity ”.  The  roses  that  float  by  her  dress  are  included  for  their many  symbolic  meanings  such  as “ Youth , Love  and  Beauty ”.

The  hand  full  of  poppies  with  his  black  seeds  represents “ Sleep  and Death ” . The  barren  branches  are  symbol  of  “ Forsaken  Love ” ;

 the  pointy  stems  “ Pain” .

The  yellow  butterfly  on  the  stone  is  symbolic  of  the  spirit .

It  could  suggest  that  Ophelia’s  spirit  flies  away  but  at  the  same  time  it  could  suggest  “ Resurrection , Rebirth  and  Lifespring ” .

The  plain  Cycle  of  Life  is  settled .

The dramatic 15 th C peel tower of Smailholm, home to the “Pringles” and “Scotts”, prominent landmark, standing “Stark and upright like a warder” (Minstrelsy of The Scottish Border, 1802), atop a crag of Lady Hill near Sandyknowes Farm (between Kelso and St.Boswells).

Childhood home of Walter Scott, provided him inspiration to the tales and folklore of the Scottish Borders. Scott is burried at nearby Dryburgh Abbey. Scott took the Artist J.M.William Turner (1775-1851) to visit the tower in 1831. Turner sketched the dramatic setting for use as an illustration to Scott’s “Poetical Works”.

Pioneer of photography Fox Talbot (1800-1877) repeated Turner’s and Scott’s itinerary publishing “Sun Pictures in Scotland” (1845).

The tower is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument in the care of Historic Scotland. Awarded the maximum “five-stars” status from VisitScotland. It houses an exhibition of tapestries and costume dolls relating to Scott’s Minstrelsy of The Scottish Borders.

This dramatic scenic view is know world-wide.
The view overlooking the Valley of the Tweed and the three peaks of Eildon Hill from Bemersyde was one of poet Sir Walter Scott’s favourite views of the Borderland.

The viewpoint can be located travelling north from the village of St.Boswells up the sloop of Bemersyde Hill, three miles east of Melrose.
The Eildon hills are remains of volcanic activity. In the past they have been occupied by Iron Age people and Romans. The flat area of land within the loop of the river Tweed is the site of the first Melrose Abbey. Nothing now remains at Old Melrose.

It is said that the horse taking Scott to his enterment at Dryburgh Abbey stopped at this spot, as it usually did on its daily outings with Sir Walter aboard to allow their master a last look at his beloved Borderland landscape.

Having interpreted the cloud phenomenon as representing the

A lucky shot ? A message ? A sign ?

It’ s a mystery …

CC is a moated ex- Maxwell Family triangular castle, built in the 13^th century,

near the ruins of an earlier one in the Caerlaverock National Nature Reserve Area at the Solway Firth , south of Dumfries, Dumfries & Galloway, in the southwest of Scotland .

This part of Scotland seems to have played an important role in the Arthurian tradition.

Which later was mixed into the Grail legends.

CC is said to be one of the mythical birthplaces of legendary King Arthur.
