EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Cleopatra sailing down the River Cydnus" takes us back to ancient times, immersing us in the grandeur and beauty of Cleopatra's journey. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a scene from Maria Elizabeth Budden's book "True Stories from Ancient History". In this enchanting image, we witness Cleopatra gracefully gliding along the river on a majestic boat. The intricate details of her attire showcase her regal status and allure as she embodies the ideal of beauty. As she dances with elegance and charm, her presence commands attention. The setting is equally mesmerizing - a mountain river winding through lush landscapes that evoke images of Egypt and Africa. This portrayal not only highlights Cleopatra's connection to these lands but also emphasizes their rich history and cultural significance. The engraver skillfully brings this historical moment to life, capturing every nuance with precision. The image invites us to imagine ourselves witnessing this spectacle firsthand - feeling the cool water beneath our feet as we marvel at Cleopatra's gracefulness. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across time and space, allowing us to experience moments long gone but forever etched in history.
