"The Death of Cleopatra" is a historical painting by Balthasar Beschey, a Flemish painter who was active during the 18th century. This artwork depicts the dramatic and tragic demise of Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. Beschey's representation of Cleopatra's death is a reflection of the fascination with classical antiquity and the dramatic moments of history that were prevalent in European art during the period.

Balthasar Beschey (1708–1776) was part of the Antwerp school and is known for his contributions to both history painting and genre scenes. His work on Cleopatra's death is emblematic of the Baroque style, characterized by its vivid expression, dynamic composition, and the emotional intensity that was often sought after in the historical genre of the time. The painting is a testament to Beschey's skill in capturing the pathos of the event and the opulence of the ancient world.

The painting portrays Cleopatra in her final moments, as she succumbs to the venom of an asp, a symbol of divine royalty in ancient Egypt and the chosen method of her suicide to avoid being paraded as a captive by the conquering Romans. The scene is typically rich in symbolism and dramatic effect, showcasing the artist's ability to convey narrative through visual means.
