"Suicidio di Cleopatra" (The Suicide of Cleopatra) is a 17th-century oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Guido Cagnacci. The artwork is renowned for its dramatic representation of the historical event of Cleopatra's death, showcasing Cagnacci's mastery in capturing the emotional intensity of the moment and his skillful use of color and light. The painting depicts the ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra in the throes of death after having supposedly allowed herself to be bitten by an asp, a symbol of divine royalty and a method of suicide that has become legendary.

Guido Cagnacci, born in 1601 in Santarcangelo di Romagna, was an Italian painter associated with the Bolognese School and known for his sensual and often provocative depictions of religious and mythological subjects. His works are characterized by their vivid realism, attention to detail, and the psychological depth of the figures portrayed. "Suicidio di Cleopatra" is considered one of Cagnacci's masterpieces and serves as a testament to his artistic abilities and his place within the Baroque movement.

The painting's composition focuses on the figure of Cleopatra, who is often portrayed in a state of undress or partial nudity, a choice that reflects the Baroque era's fascination with the sensuality and vulnerability of the human body. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, is a hallmark of Cagnacci's style and serves to heighten the drama and emotional impact of the scene. The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to Cagnacci's mature period.

"Suicidio di Cleopatra" has been the subject of various interpretations and scholarly discussions, particularly regarding its historical accuracy and the representation of Cleopatra's character. The painting is also notable for its influence on later artists and its role in shaping the Baroque aesthetic. Today, it is held in high regard as an important cultural artifact and a significant contribution to the canon of European art history.
