EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Bust of Cleopatra" sculpted by Giacomo Filippo Parodi in the late 17th century. Crafted from creamy-white marble, this masterpiece is carved in the round and stands gracefully on a circular verde antico socle. The bust itself measures 78.75 cm, while the socle adds an additional 12 cm to its overall height. Displayed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, UK, this artwork embodies the beauty and allure of Cleopatra herself. Parodi's attention to detail is evident in every delicate feature, capturing her regal elegance and enigmatic charm. The Italian Baroque artist skillfully brings out Cleopatra's femininity through his artistry with white marble. The sculpture exudes a sense of timelessness as it pays homage to both ancient Egyptian aesthetics and Venetian artistic traditions. The photograph captures not only the front view but also offers a glimpse into its rear side with a plinth supporting it firmly. This unique perspective allows viewers to appreciate Parodi's mastery from all angles. With its intricate carving and use of verde antico marble for contrast, this piece exemplifies why Parodi remains celebrated within art history circles today. It serves as a testament to his talent as well as an enduring symbol of female power and beauty throughout centuries.
