"The Death of Cleopatra" is a notable work of art by the Italian Renaissance painter Giulio Romano, also known as Giulio Pippi or by his nickname, Orbetto. Born in Rome in 1499, Giulio Romano was a prominent pupil of Raphael and played a significant role in the continuation of the High Renaissance style, particularly after Raphael's death. Romano's works are characterized by their dynamic compositions, robust figures, and inventive iconography, which often incorporated elements of the classical world.

This particular painting, "The Death of Cleopatra," depicts the dramatic and historically significant moment of the Egyptian queen's suicide. Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, is a figure shrouded in legend and known for her intelligence, political acumen, and alleged affairs with Roman leaders Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Her death, traditionally attributed to the bite of an asp, has been a subject of fascination and has been represented in various art forms throughout history.

Giulio Romano's interpretation of Cleopatra's death is a testament to his mastery of emotional expression and his ability to convey narrative through visual art. The painting is believed to have been created in the 16th century, during the artist's mature period, when he was also involved in architectural and decorative projects in the city of Mantua, where he had moved after Raphael's death.

While the exact date of the painting's creation and its current location may not be well-documented, "The Death of Cleopatra" by Giulio Romano remains an important example of the artist's work and of Renaissance art's engagement with classical themes. The painting is significant for its portrayal of a pivotal moment in ancient history and for its influence on later artistic representations of Cleopatra. It continues to be studied for its stylistic elements and its place within the broader context of Giulio Romano's oeuvre and Renaissance art history.
