EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite oil painting from the 17th century Italian school of artistry comes a hauntingly beautiful depiction of Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator, Queen of Ancient Egypt. Dressed in regal finery and adorned with symbols of her power, she sits serenely amidst an entourage of snakes - reptilian companions that whisper secrets to the queen's ear.
The artist has masterfully captured the essence of this enigmatic figure, known for her cunning diplomacy and tragic fate. As Thea Philopator gazes out into the distance, one can't help but sense a hint of melancholy beneath her stoic exterior - a foreshadowing of the eventual downfall that would befall her.
This stunning artwork is not only an homage to ancient Egyptian royalty but also serves as a poignant reminder of the transience and fragility of human life. Thea Philopator's story, marked by both triumphs and tragedies, has captivated art lovers for centuries - this painting being just one testament to its enduring allure.
From Urbino in Marche (Region) comes this masterpiece that transcends time and space, inviting us into the mystical realm where ancient Egypt meets 17th-century Italy. A true treasure of fine arts.
