''Cleopatra'' is a renowned Baroque painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, better known as Guercino. This artwork, dating from 1621, is one of the numerous depictions of Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, in the history of art. Guercino, celebrated for his vigorous compositions and masterful use of chiaroscuro, created this painting during a period of intense artistic activity in the early 17th century, which was marked by a heightened interest in dramatic subjects and emotional expressiveness.

The painting portrays the moment of Cleopatra's tragic demise, as she is traditionally believed to have committed suicide by allowing an asp, a venomous snake, to bite her. Guercino's depiction is imbued with a sense of immediacy and psychological depth, capturing the queen in a moment of poignant vulnerability. The artist's use of rich colors and sharp contrasts between light and shadow serve to enhance the emotional impact of the scene and draw the viewer's attention to Cleopatra's figure, which dominates the composition.

''Cleopatra'' by Guercino is not only a testament to the artist's skill and the Baroque era's stylistic preoccupations but also contributes to the iconography of Cleopatra, reflecting the enduring fascination with her life and death. The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important work within Guercino's oeuvre. It is housed in a notable art collection, although the specific location may vary as the painting could be loaned to exhibitions or subject to changes in ownership or display arrangements.

Through its dramatic representation and technical excellence, Guercino's ''Cleopatra'' continues to captivate audiences, offering a window into the rich tapestry of Baroque art and the enduring legacy of one of history's most enigmatic figures.
