Death of Cleopatra: Classic Art Reproduction
Death of Cleopatra: Classic Art Reproduction
By Jean-Andre Rixens (1846-1924), in the Musee des Augustins, Toulouse
A stunning, framed replica on artist’s grade canvas
This breathtakingly bittersweet scene depicts the mesmerizing beauty, even in death, of the fabled Cleopatra. Here, her faithful servant Iras by her side, Charmion adjusts the queen’s diadem before also falling lifeless. With the characteristically Victorian Orientalist panther skin in the foreground, Rixens’classic tells of the fabled asp that legend says allowed the queen to choose her own death. Our authentic stretched canvas replica captures the original painting's texture, depth of color, and hand-applied brushstrokes. Our imported, brushed antique bronze, hardwood frame includes a solid brass museum plate etched with the title and artist's name. Also available as a print under glass.
