"The Banquet of Cleopatra" is a notable painting by the Venetian artist Francesco Fontebasso, created in the 18th century. Fontebasso, a prominent figure in the Venetian Rococo movement, is celebrated for his dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color, which are vividly exemplified in this work. The painting depicts the legendary banquet hosted by Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, for the Roman general Mark Antony. This historical event is famously known for Cleopatra's extravagant display of wealth, where she dissolved one of her priceless pearls in a goblet of vinegar and drank it, showcasing her immense riches and opulence.

Fontebasso's rendition of this scene captures the drama and grandeur of the moment, with a keen attention to the luxurious details and the emotional expressions of the characters. The composition is marked by its theatricality, a hallmark of Rococo art, with a lively interplay of light and shadow that enhances the sense of movement and immediacy. The figures are elegantly posed, and the sumptuous setting is rendered with meticulous detail, reflecting the artist's mastery in depicting both human figures and intricate interiors.

The painting not only illustrates a significant historical anecdote but also serves as a testament to the cultural and artistic milieu of 18th-century Venice. Fontebasso's work is a reflection of the period's fascination with classical antiquity and its penchant for elaborate and ornate artistic expressions. "The Banquet of Cleopatra" stands as a significant example of Fontebasso's oeuvre, showcasing his ability to blend historical narrative with the decorative elegance characteristic of the Rococo style.
