EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating print after Hans Makart's renowned painting of the same name, created by W Unger around 1880-83. This evocative image, published by J.S. Virtue & Co Ltd in London, transports us back to ancient Egypt and the poignant moment of the queen's demise. Makart's masterpiece, inspired by the legendary Egyptian monarch, depicts Cleopatra in her final moments, lying recline on a richly decorated bed, her attendants in mourning and despair in the background. The queen, semi-dressed in a diaphanous gown, gazes away from the viewer, her expression a mix of sorrow and resignation. Her bare-chested male attendant, Mizraim, stands beside her, his face etched with grief as he holds a cup, perhaps offering the queen a final drink or poison. The print, a testament to the enduring allure of Cleopatra's story, invites us to ponder the queen's tragic fate. Was it suicide, as legend suggests, or was she betrayed by her lover, Mark Antony? The print leaves these questions unanswered, allowing our imaginations to fill in the blanks. The print's monochrome palette adds to its timeless quality, while the intricate details of the attendants' clothing and the ornate furnishings of the queen's chamber transport us back to the opulence of ancient Egypt. This print, a beautiful work of art in its own right, offers a glimpse into the world of the queen and her court, a world of royalty, sorrow, and the passage of time.
