About the piece
Created by the Italian master Guido Cagnacci circa 1650, this painting captures the tragic Egyptian queen in a moment of emotional intensity. The work is a quintessential example of the Baroque style, utilizing deep shadows and a saturated palette to highlight the glowing, porcelain-like texture of the skin—a hallmark of Cagnacci's refined technique.
