EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the tragic end of one of history's most iconic figures, Cleopatra VII. The last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, Cleopatra met her demise in 30 BC with the help of an asp, a venomous snake. Her death marked the end of an era for Egyptian royalty and signified the fall of Egypt to Roman rule.
In this image, we see Cleopatra lying peacefully as she succumbs to the deadly bite of the serpent. The intricate details captured in this photograph bring to life the final moments of a woman who was known for her beauty, intelligence, and political prowess.
Cleopatra's legacy continues to fascinate historians and art enthusiasts alike, making this print a valuable piece for anyone interested in ancient history. The composition and lighting used in this image evoke a sense of drama and tragedy that is befitting of such a legendary figure.
As we gaze upon Cleopatra's serene expression in her final moments, we are reminded of the power struggles and betrayals that defined her reign. This print serves as a poignant reminder of both her untimely death and enduring influence on world history.
