EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic scene of Cleopatra, the iconic Queen of Egypt, as she commits suicide with the aid of an asp. Created by W Unger in the late 19th century, this powerful image showcases Cleopatra's grief-stricken expression and unbearable sorrow. The artist skillfully portrays Cleopatra lying on her deathbed, her body consumed by sadness. The ancient Egyptian monarch is surrounded by servants who mourn their queen's impending demise. A snake, symbolizing an asp, coils around her arm, representing both death and rebirth. Unger's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this haunting piece. The monochrome palette adds a sense of timelessness to the artwork while emphasizing the emotional intensity portrayed on Cleopatra's face. Hans Makart collaborated with Unger on this project under the direction of FG Dumas and JS Virtue & Co in London during the late 19th century. Together they created a stunning engraving that beautifully captures one of history's most legendary figures. This remarkable print from Modern Artists serves as a testament to Cleopatra's enduring legacy and offers viewers a glimpse into her final moments before joining eternity. It stands as a reminder that even great rulers are not immune to heart-wrenching tragedy.
