EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a pencil charcoal tempera in gold and white drawing of Cleopatra, the legendary Queen of Egypt, created by the Austrian artist Franz von Matsch around the 1910s. The drawing, which is currently housed in the Austrian Gallery Belvedere in Vienna, Austria, showcases Cleopatra in a thoughtful and introspective pose, with her headdress adorned with the symbols of Egypt, including the asp and the falcon of Lower Egypt, Mizraim. The artistic movement represented in this work is Jugendstil, also known as Art Nouveau, which emphasized organic forms, sinuous lines, and rich ornamentation. Cleopatra VII Philopator, born in the late 1st century BC, was the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. She was known for her beauty, intelligence, and political acumen, and was famously involved in romantic liaisons with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Her reign marked the end of the Hellenistic period in Egypt and the beginning of Roman rule. This drawing captures the essence of Cleopatra's enigmatic and powerful persona, transporting us back to the ancient world and the rich cultural heritage of Greece and Egypt. The use of charcoal and pencil, as well as the addition of gold and white tempera, adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true masterpiece of artistic expression and historical significance.
