"Gather ye rosebuds study"

John William Waterhouse (i) - Oil (i) - Pre-Raphaelites
Gather ye rosebuds study or Ophelia (1908) is an oil painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse. It is painted in 1908. He submitted his Ophelia painting of 1888 in order to receive his diploma from the Royal Academy. (He had originally wanted to submit a painting titled "A Mermaid", but it was not completed in time.) After this, the painting was lost until the 20th century, and is now displayed in the collection of Lord Lloyd-Webber. Waterhouse would paint Ophelia again in 1894 and 1909 or 1910, and planned another painting in the series, called "Ophelia in the Churchyard". Waterhouse could not finish the series of Ophelia paintings because he was gravely ill with cancer by 1915. He died two years later.
