Title: "Antonius Kleopatra"
Description:
This evocative history painting captures an intimate and poignant moment in the Egyptian royal palace, where Cleopatra bids farewell to her lover, the Roman general Marcus Antonius. Richly decorated with floral garlands and illuminated by flickering torchlight, the chamber sets the stage for an emotionally charged farewell scene that embodies both romance and impending tragedy.
Cleopatra, in a flowing white gown, delicately adjusts Antony’s armor, reinforcing her role as both a lover and a queen preparing her warrior for departure. Antonius, clad in a red and gold cuirass, extends his arm in a parting gesture, while a young squire presents his helmet, symbolizing the military obligations that pull him away from the embrace of love. In the background, a group of Roman and Egyptian attendants observe, heightening the dramatic tension of the moment.
Executed in the academic tradition of history painting, the work reflects influences from 19th-century Neoclassicism and Romanticism, with its precise rendering of textiles, polished surfaces, and the careful interplay of light and shadow. The glazed surface enhances the depth and richness of the colors, lending the scene a cinematic, almost theatrical presence.
This museum-quality painting captures a pivotal moment from one of antiquity’s most legendary love stories, making it a highly desirable acquisition for collectors of historical, classical, and Romantic art.
Provenance:
Private collection.
Condition:
Excellent condition, with minor craquelure consistent with age. The painting’s glazed finish preserves its vibrant detail and depth.
A striking and historically significant work depicting one of the most famous love affairs of the ancient world.
