EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Sir Joshua Reynolds brings to life the iconic figure of Cleopatra through the enchanting portrayal of Kitty Fisher. Painted in 1759, "REYNOLDS: CLEOPATRA" showcases the English courtesan holding a delicate pearl cup, symbolizing her power and allure. Reynolds masterfully captures Fisher's beauty and grace as she dissolves the pearl, embodying Cleopatra's legendary extravagance and opulence. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the intricate folds of her gown to the mesmerizing expression on her face. The choice of Kitty Fisher as Cleopatra adds an intriguing layer to this artwork. Known for her own charm and wit, Fisher was a prominent figure in London society during that time. By casting her as Cleopatra, Reynolds blurs the lines between reality and myth while highlighting both women's ability to captivate their audiences. This oil on canvas print not only showcases Reynolds' exceptional talent but also serves as a testament to his contribution to fine art. The painting transports viewers back to mid-18th century England when portraiture was at its peak. Whether you are an admirer of historical figures or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print is sure to be a stunning addition to any collection. It invites us into a world where elegance meets intrigue and reminds us of the timeless appeal of powerful women throughout history.
