"Cleopatra Committing Suicide" is a 17th-century painting by the French Baroque artist Claude Vignon. Created in 1625, the artwork depicts the dramatic moment of the ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra VII's suicide, a subject that has fascinated artists, writers, and historians for centuries. Vignon's interpretation of Cleopatra's death is a testament to the Baroque era's emphasis on emotional intensity and theatricality.

The painting showcases Cleopatra, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, in her final moments as she succumbs to the venom of an asp, a symbol often associated with her demise. Vignon's portrayal is rich in allegorical and symbolic elements, reflecting the complex narratives surrounding Cleopatra's life and death. The composition is marked by dramatic lighting, strong contrasts of light and shadow, and a vivid portrayal of textures and fabrics that enhance the theatrical effect.

Claude Vignon (1593–1670) was known for his eclectic style, which combined influences from the Italian masters he studied during his time in Italy with the emerging French Baroque sensibility. His works often featured historical and mythological themes, rendered with a distinctive flair for color and ornamentation. "Cleopatra Committing Suicide" is considered one of his significant works, exemplifying his skill in capturing the emotional gravity of historical scenes.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the way Baroque art sought to engage viewers with compelling narratives. It remains an important piece within Vignon's oeuvre and contributes to the broader cultural and artistic interpretations of Cleopatra's enduring legacy.
