The Entourage of Cleopatra, 1746-47. Artist: Giovanni Battista Tiepolo
The Entourage of Cleopatra, 1746-47. One of the most important commissions carried out by Tiepolo in the 1740s was, without a doubt, the decoration of the Palazzo Labia in Venice. Tiepolos scenes, The Meeting of Anthony and Cleopatra and The Banquet of Cleopatra, are staged within an illusory architecture, the scenic framework lending them a theatrical character. The two female servants with the dog are typical secondary figures, used time and again by Tiepolo in numerous works to enrich the main action

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's masterpiece, "The Entourage of Cleopatra" created between 1746-47. Commissioned for the Palazzo Labia in Venice, this artwork is considered one of Tiepolo's most significant achievements during the 1740s. Within an illusory architectural setting, Tiepolo skillfully stages two scenes: "The Meeting of Anthony and Cleopatra" and "The Banquet of Cleopatra". These compositions exude a theatrical quality that transports viewers to ancient Egypt. Amongst the main action, we find two female servants accompanied by a faithful dog. These secondary figures are characteristic of Tiepolo's style and can be seen enriching numerous works throughout his career. Immersed in vibrant colors and intricate details, this Rococo-era painting captures the essence of 18th-century Italy. The procession led by Cleopatra herself features majestic horses and other animals, adding depth to the composition. The Palace of Labia serves as a magnificent backdrop for this grand spectacle. Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's artistry shines through in every brushstroke, creating an illusionary world that captivates viewers even centuries later. This print allows us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of his work while highlighting the talent behind it all - Giambattista Tiepolo himself.
