Original artwork description:

Painted in "Realism" style in a contemporary key with vivid colors, set near the Fountain of the Three Dolphins that offers the largest pool in the park of the Royal Palace of Caserta, taking inspiration from its symbolic meaning, which aims to represent the element of water in all its power. Hence the idea to recreate the emblem of magic and purification through it, also inspired by Ophelia, which I interpreted similarly to the Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais. The young girl, one of the protagonists of the famous tragedy by William Shakespeare, fell into the river while weaving garlands of flowers, unable to understand the danger she was running: she let herself be lulled by the water singing sweet melodies, until she drowned.
