EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Death of Cleopatra" a masterpiece created by the talented artist Guido Canlassi in approximately 1662. Housed in the prestigious Art History Museum in Vienna, this painting depicts the tragic demise of one of history's most iconic figures. Canlassi's Baroque style breathes life into this ancient Roman tale, as Queen Cleopatra VII is seen succumbing to poison. The composition beautifully captures her final moments, evoking a sense of sorrow and melancholy. Through his brushstrokes, Canlassi skillfully portrays the complex emotions surrounding love, betrayal, and ultimate sacrifice. Cleopatra's story has been immortalized throughout literature and art for centuries. Shakespeare himself was inspired by her allure and wrote about her passionate relationship with Mark Antony. This painting serves as an allegory for their ill-fated romance and its consequences on both personal and political levels. As we gaze upon this fine art image printed on canvas using oil paints, we are transported back to ancient Egypt. We witness Cleopatra's strength as she faces her destiny while surrounded by mythological symbolism intertwined with historical accuracy. Guido Canlassi was part of the School of Forli in Italy during the 17th century. His attention to detail and ability to capture human emotion make him one of the great masters of his time. This print allows us to appreciate not only Canlassi's artistic genius but also delve into mythology, allegory, literature
