Description : Suicidio di Cleopatra

Oil on canvas applied to hardboard. It is a small copy of the large painting created by Guido Reni between 1635 and 1640, and currently kept in Florence at Palazzo Pitti. The subject, highly represented by the greatest exponent of Bolognese classicism, belongs to his later production, when, in accordance with the more classicist cannons, the figure of the Egyptian queen loses its sensuality to be presented in a very idealized, almost mystical way, with a gaze of the woman facing the sky which could easily be that of any saint by Guido Reni. The well made painting is presented in a period frame.
