Item description

Wonderful Italian painting from the first half of the 18th century. Oil on copper work depicting an intense death of Cleopatra, of extraordinary pictorial quality. Last queen of Egypt, she was one of the most powerful and tragic figures of antiquity. After Antony's defeat, Cleopatra will choose death so as not to be exhibited as a trophy in Rome. Tradition says that he took his own life by being bitten by a snake and the artist captures the interior moment of the decision. The queen is portrayed in an instant of suspension, when life has not yet abandoned, regal even in death and master of her own destiny. The flowers on the table reiterate the theme of vanitas, beauty, power and glory are always destined to fade. Work attributable to the great Italian painter Francesco Trevisani (1656-1746). The figure, idealized and pervaded by a composed melancholy, embodies the lyrical language of the master. An elegant painting, far from theatrical excesses and raw naturalism, in this work we find many of its characteristic features: the pearly complexions constructed with thin glazes, soft tonal transitions and a composed and almost abstract beauty (The painting is not currently accompanied by expertise, but it is possible to request it upon payment of the relevant additional costs). The choice of copper enhances the softness of the complexion and the brightness of the work, a rare and precious support intended for an important and cultured client. Ideal framework for prestigious, classic or modern environments, perfect for a library or professional studio. 20th century frame in carved and gilded wood, beautifully decorated, with some signs of aging. Work already restored with color recovery in small spots, overall in good state of conservation. Light painting H 33 x W 26 cm.
