"Cleopatra, 1866" is a renowned painting by the British artist Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Sandys, known for his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color, created this work during a period when fascination with ancient Egypt and its legendary figures was at its peak in Victorian England. The painting depicts Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, who has been immortalized in history and art for her intelligence, political acumen, and romantic liaisons with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony.

In "Cleopatra, 1866," Sandys presents the queen in a highly stylized and idealized manner, characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite style. Cleopatra is shown adorned in luxurious, exotic attire, with intricate jewelry and a headdress that signify her royal status and the opulence of her court. The artist's use of rich, deep colors and fine brushwork brings a sense of realism and depth to the painting, while also imbuing it with a sense of mystique and allure.

The background of the painting is equally detailed, featuring elements that evoke the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture and design. Sandys' attention to historical accuracy in the depiction of Cleopatra's attire and surroundings reflects the Victorian era's fascination with Egyptology and the romanticized view of ancient civilizations.

"Cleopatra, 1866" is celebrated not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural significance. It captures the Victorian imagination and the era's complex attitudes towards history, femininity, and power. The painting remains a significant example of Sandys' work and the broader Pre-Raphaelite movement, illustrating the enduring allure of Cleopatra as a symbol of beauty, intelligence, and enigmatic charm.
