Pharaoh Suicide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful engraving captures a pivotal moment in ancient history - the discovery of Cleopatra's lifeless body by Augustus (Octavian) after her tragic suicide. The artist, Von Heckel, has masterfully depicted the raw emotion and drama of this historical event. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to the civilization of antiquity, where power struggles and betrayals were commonplace. Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Egypt, chose death over surrendering to Rome's rule. Her lifeless form lies before us, a symbol of defiance and tragedy. Augustus (Octavian), the future first emperor of Rome, stands over Cleopatra with a mixture of sorrow and triumph in his eyes. This moment marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in Roman history. The colors in this engraving are rich and vibrant, adding depth to the scene unfolding before us. The attention to detail is impeccable, from Cleopatra's flowing robes to Augustus' regal attire. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and conflicts that defined ancient civilizations. It is a testament to both the artistic skill of Von Heckel and the enduring legacy of figures like Cleopatra and Augustus.
