Cleopatra Lying at the Foot of a Tree, with a Term, 1515
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving on ivory laid paper, created by the anonymous artist known as the Master of 1515. This masterpiece, dating back to the 16th century, offers a hauntingly beautiful depiction of the legendary Egyptian queen Cleopatra, who is believed to have taken her own life by allowing an asp to bite her. The image finds Cleopatra in a reclining position, lying at the foot of a grand column, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature. The queen is dressed in rich, flowing robes, her regal head adorned with a diadem, as she gazes off into the distance, lost in thought. At her side lies a term, or a small, curved stick used as a fan or a support, adding an element of elegance and refinement to the scene. The background of the engraving is dominated by the towering pillars of ancient Egyptian architecture, their intricate designs and ornate carvings a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the time. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of lush, green trees and plants, their vibrant colors and delicate details providing a stark contrast to the monochromatic palette of the engraving. This evocative work of art, which is now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the world of ancient Egypt, transporting viewers back in time to an era of grandeur, royalty, and history. The Master of 1515's skillful use of line and shading, combined with his keen attention to detail, make this a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the arts, history, or the mysteries of the ancient world.
