EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of Cleopatra, the iconic Queen of Egypt. Created by Johann Jakob Frey the Elder in 1720, this engraving captures the essence of Cleopatra VII Philopator, a powerful female monarch who ruled over ancient Egypt. Dressed in elaborate robes and adorned with regal accessories, Cleopatra's majestic presence is palpable in this portrait. Her enigmatic gaze and serene expression hint at her intelligence and cunning nature that made her one of history's most intriguing figures. Frey's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he skillfully depicts the intricate patterns on Cleopatra's dress and meticulously renders each strand of her hair. The monochromatic palette adds a sense of timelessness to the image, emphasizing Cleopatra's enduring allure. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork serves as a testament to both ancient Egyptian culture and eighteenth-century Swiss artistry. It transports viewers back in time to an era when queens reigned supreme and their elegance was immortalized through masterful craftsmanship. As we admire this stunning portrayal of Cleopatra, we are reminded not only of her historical significance but also of our fascination with powerful women throughout history. This print allows us to connect with an extraordinary ruler whose legacy continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
