Ophelia

In the Dazed & Confused magazine appeared in December 2007 this Ophelia by the fashion photographer Mariano Vivanco.

I don’t think that Vivanco had a special painting in mind when he took this photo. But since the 19th century Ophelia is a popular icon in art. And because of this the images will resemble the most times as this painting may illustrate:

Ophelia (1876) by the French painter Antoine Auguste Ernest Hebert(1817-1908).

In an issue of the British style magazine Dazed & Confused can be found a series by the famous photographer Nick Knight presenting Gareth Pugh’s Spring/Summer ‘09 collection.

Interesting is especially this one:


It should be compared with the painting "Ophelia" from 1851.

Its by the English painter John Everett Millais (1829–1896), one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

Here not only pose and background are similar, it's even the frame. So it should be called a real quotation.
