The Death of Cleopatra, 1785 - A Tragic Tale of Love and Betrayal
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Joseph-Benoit Suvee's neoclassical masterpiece, "The Death of Cleopatra" painted in 1785. Set against a backdrop of ancient Rome, this painting depicts the final moments of Queen Cleopatra VII's life. In this poignant scene, Cleopatra lies gracefully on her opulent bed while clutching an asp to her breast. The artist skillfully portrays the queen's beauty and strength even in death. Surrounding her are remnants of her tumultuous relationships with Roman politician Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony) and Egyptian rulers Ptolemy XIII and XIV.
