"Il Banchetto di Cleopatra" (The Banquet of Cleopatra) is a historical painting by the Italian artist Antonio Gionima, created in the 18th century. The artwork depicts the legendary feast where Cleopatra, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, is said to have wagered with the Roman general Mark Antony that she could consume the wealth of an entire nation in one meal. According to the story, Cleopatra won the bet by dissolving a pearl from one of her earrings in a glass of vinegar (or wine, according to some accounts) and drinking it.

Gionima's interpretation of this famous episode from antiquity is a fine example of the Rococo style, characterized by elaborate ornamentation, refined elegance, and a focus on themes of love and classical antiquity. The painting is notable for its rich color palette, attention to detail, and the dynamic composition that captures the opulence of the scene and the dramatic moment of the bet. The figures in the painting are dressed in sumptuous garments, and the setting is filled with luxurious objects that reflect the wealth and power of the two historical figures.

Antonio Gionima (1697–1732) was an Italian painter of the late Baroque period, active mainly in his hometown of Venice. He was known for his historical and mythological scenes, as well as his religious works. "Il Banchetto di Cleopatra" stands as one of Gionima's most recognized works, showcasing his skill in narrative painting and his ability to bring a legendary historical moment to life.

The painting not only captures the viewer's imagination with its depiction of luxury and excess but also serves as a reflection of the cultural and artistic interests of the 18th century. It remains an important work for the study of Italian art of the period and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and historical significance.
