About the piece
Painted in 1648, Guercino's interpretation of the death of Cleopatra showcases the artist's masterful use of light and shadow. The Queen of Egypt is shown in a moment of quiet pathos, her pale skin contrasting against the deep crimson of the velvet bed curtains and the dark recesses of her chamber.
