"Morte di Cleopatra" (The Death of Cleopatra) is a 17th-century oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Guido Cagnacci, known for his sensual and often dramatic works. This painting is a striking example of Cagnacci's mastery in depicting historical and mythological subjects with a strong emphasis on emotion and theatricality. The artwork captures the moment of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra's demise, a popular theme in art that symbolizes the tragic intersection of power, beauty, and destiny.

The painting portrays Cleopatra in the throes of death, having succumbed to the venom of an asp, a symbol of her sovereignty and her chosen instrument of suicide. Cagnacci's rendition is particularly noted for its vivid realism and the tactile quality of Cleopatra's skin, which contrasts with the opulent yet dark surroundings, highlighting the drama of the scene. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, the stark contrast between light and shadow, serves to enhance the emotional intensity and the three-dimensionality of the figures.

Guido Cagnacci (1601–1663), originally from Santarcangelo di Romagna, was active during the Baroque period, a time characterized by expressive art that appealed to the senses and emotions. His works often featured strong female characters and were marked by a distinctive blend of realism and idealization. "Morte di Cleopatra" is considered one of Cagnacci's significant contributions to Baroque art, reflecting his ability to convey complex narratives through powerful visual language.

The painting's provenance and historical journey have been subjects of interest to art historians, as it reflects the changing tastes and attitudes towards Baroque art through the centuries. Today, "Morte di Cleopatra" is recognized not only as a masterpiece of Cagnacci's oeuvre but also as an important example of the broader cultural and artistic fascination with the figure of Cleopatra, which has persisted through the ages.
