作品描述
The Death of Cleopatra is a historical painting by Hungarian artist Gyula Benczúr, created in 1911. The work depicts the final moments of the Egyptian queen as she succumbs to the bite of an asp, surrounded by symbolic elements such as the Uraeus serpent and a bouquet of roses. The composition emphasizes emotional intensity through detailed rendering of Cleopatra's expression, drapery, and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow.
