About the piece

Painted by Leandro Bassano around 1600, this masterful work depicts the legendary banquet of Antony and Cleopatra. The composition is alive with detail—from the shimmering silver plates and curious animals to the richly dressed figures—all rendered with the dramatic chiaroscuro and luminous color characteristic of the Venetian school at the turn of the 17th century.
