"The Banquet of Cleopatra" is a renowned oil painting completed between 1746 and 1747 by the Italian Rococo artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. This masterpiece is celebrated for its depiction of the legendary encounter between Cleopatra, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, and Mark Antony, the Roman general and statesman. The painting captures the dramatic moment during a banquet when Cleopatra, in a display of wealth and power, dissolves a pearl in a glass of vinegar and drinks it to win a wager against Antony, asserting the extravagance of her royal court.

Measuring 250.3 cm × 357 cm, the large-scale work is housed in the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia. Tiepolo's composition is a tour de force of Baroque painting, showcasing his mastery of vibrant color, dynamic lighting, and fluid brushwork. The scene is set within an opulent architectural setting, with figures arranged in a theatrical manner that enhances the narrative's tension and grandeur.

The painting is a prime example of Tiepolo's ability to blend classical themes with the ornate style of the Rococo period. His portrayal of the figures, from the sumptuously dressed Cleopatra to the mesmerized onlookers, reflects the artist's keen interest in human emotion and the subtleties of social interaction. "The Banquet of Cleopatra" not only exemplifies Tiepolo's skill as a storyteller through art but also serves as a reflection of the cultural and artistic fascinations of 18th-century Europe with the exotic and historical past.

Tiepolo's work has been widely studied and admired for its artistic significance and its place within the broader context of European art history. "The Banquet of Cleopatra" remains one of his most famous and frequently referenced paintings, encapsulating the grandeur and theatricality that characterize much of his oeuvre.
