"The Death of Cleopatra" is an oil painting by the French artist Jean André Rixens, created in 1874. This work of art captures the dramatic and historically significant moment of the demise of Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. Rixens, known for his academic style and historical paintings, portrays Cleopatra in the throes of death following her suicide, which is believed to have been caused by the venomous bite of an asp, as per the legend.

The painting is a testament to the 19th-century fascination with Orientalism and the exoticization of the East, as well as the romanticized portrayal of historical events. Rixens' depiction of Cleopatra's death is imbued with a sense of theatricality and pathos, reflecting the era's artistic trends and the influence of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. The artwork is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, rich color palette, and the sumptuous representation of textures and fabrics that adorn the dying queen and her surroundings.

"The Death of Cleopatra" by Jean André Rixens is not only an example of the artist's technical skill but also serves as a cultural artifact that illustrates the European perspectives on ancient history and the allure of the Orient during the 19th century. The painting has been exhibited in various galleries and has been subject to scholarly analysis for its historical and artistic significance. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Rixens and continues to be studied for its contribution to the academic art movement and its reflection of the societal attitudes of its time.
