EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the last Macedonian queen of Egypt, Cleopatra VII, in a truly remarkable moment - giving birth. In this ancient bas-relief from the Temple of Esneh, Cleopatra is depicted in a kneeling position with her arms raised. The image showcases her strength and vulnerability as she brings new life into the world. Cleopatra's regal presence is evident even in this intimate scene. As an empress and ruler of Egypt during the Ptolemaic dynasty, she embodies power and grace. The African iron age setting adds to the historical significance of this portrayal. The symbolism within the image is striking; Cleopatra holds an ankh, representing eternal life and fertility. This emphasizes her role not only as a mother but also as a symbol of prosperity for her kingdom. The focus on childbirth highlights women's experiences during that time period and sheds light on their resilience. It also reminds us of Cleopatra's humanity beyond her political influence. This print beautifully captures a tender moment between mother and son, showcasing Cleopatra's love for her child amidst all challenges faced by royalty. It serves as a reminder that even powerful figures like Cleopatra were still mothers who experienced the joys and pains of bringing forth new life. Displayed by The Granger Collection, New York / The Granger Collection, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into history while celebrating both womanhood and ancient Egyptian culture without any commercial intent or use mentioned.
