Detail of The Meeting of Antony and Cleopatra by Tiepolo in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, January 2020
The Meeting of Antony and Cleopatra
ca. 1745–47
Object Details
Artist: Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (Italian, Venice 1696–1770 Madrid)
Date: ca. 1745–47
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 18 1/4 × 26 1/4 in. (46.4 × 66.7 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Bequest of Mrs. Charles Wrightsman in honor of Hélène David-Weill, 2019
Accession Number: 2019.141.18
Marc Antony’s galleon has arrived in Egypt and, overcome by Queen Cleopatra’s beauty, the Roman general bows to kiss her hand. It is the beginning of his undoing. Having betrayed Rome, he is defeated and kills himself; Cleopatra then also commits suicide. Black African attendants and a turbaned figure signify foreign lands, while Cleopatra has been given European features and dress. Her costume is inspired by both theater practice and seventeenth-century fashion. This is an oil sketch, or modello, for a huge canvas in the former Yusupov country palace at Arkhangelskoye, near Moscow.
