EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the opulence and drama of Cleopatra's legendary banquet feast. In the center, we see Cleopatra herself, exuding power and sensuality with her bare breasts on display. Seated beside her is Marcus Antonius, a prominent figure in ancient Rome. The table is adorned with lavish dishes and surrounded by various guests and members of the household, all eager to partake in this extravagant event. However, amidst the grandeur, an intriguing subplot unfolds. Lucius Plancus can be seen attempting to prevent Cleopatra from dissolving a second pearl from her earring into her wine. This act would secure victory for Marcus Antonius in their bet to host the most expensive banquet. A hunting dog lies obediently on the floor in front of the table, adding a touch of loyalty to this scene of indulgence. The background showcases intricate palace architecture adorned with caryatids, further emphasizing the regal setting. Painted by Gerard de Lairesse between 1675 and 1680 using oil paint on canvas, this artwork beautifully captures both the allure and decadence associated with Cleopatra's reign. It serves as a testament to her ability to captivate those around her through both beauty and extravagance. The Liszt Collection presents this stunning image as part of its diverse range of historical prints that offer glimpses into fascinating moments throughout history.
