EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century engraving, titled "Poison Cleopatra - Holland" takes us back in time to the mysterious world of ancient Egypt. Created by an unknown artist during that era, this print showcases the enigmatic beauty and power of Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator. The portrait depicts Cleopatra with a mesmerizing gaze, her regal features accentuated by intricate details meticulously etched onto the surface. As we delve into the image, we are reminded of her infamous reputation as a seductress and cunning strategist. The title itself hints at one of history's most enduring legends surrounding Cleopatra – her alleged use of poison to end her life rather than submit to capture by Octavian. This portrayal captures both her allure and the dark undercurrents that surrounded her reign. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skillfully brings out every nuance and texture in this remarkable piece. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the artistry behind this engraving but also its historical significance. This print serves as a window into a distant past when pharaohs ruled over vast empires and intrigue lurked around every corner. It invites us to ponder upon Cleopatra's complex legacy while marveling at the craftsmanship that has preserved it for centuries.
