The name Ophelia is a Greek baby name. In Greek the meaning of the name is: ‘help’. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Ophelia was the lover of Hamlet who went insane as a result of his irrational behavior.
Looking at the painting as it dried, I couldn’t help but think of the name… so, naturally, I investigated more.
One of Uranus’s moons is named Ophelia. Additionally, ‘171 Ophelia’ is a large, dark asteroid that was discovered by French astronomers.
