The Banquet of Cleopatra
Artist: Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (Italian, 1696 - 1770)
Original Dimensions: 18 1/4" x 26 1/4"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (1740s) "Sat at a grand table, Cleopatra, ruler of Egypt, is about to dissolve one of her priceless pearls in a goblet of vinegar, showing her contempt for wealth to the Roman general Mark Antony, who, dressed in red, recoils in surprise. The moment is described by the Roman historian Pliny in his Natural History (Book IX). The tension in the scene is increased by the efforts of the servant in the bottom left to control a fine white horse, and the onlookers watching in suspense. Tiepolo painted Cleopatra’s banquet several times, and this small painting may be an early oil sketch for his famous fresco in the Palazzo Labia in Venice, which he completed in around 1746. As a preliminary study, his style is much looser than in his finished works, but he still uses a delicacy of colour in Cleopatra’s cream dress, the architectural details in subtle pinks and stronger tones of the onlookers' clothing." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
