"Cleopatra and Caesar," also known as "Cleopatre et Cesar," is a renowned oil painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, completed in 1866. The painting is a historical genre piece that depicts a famous encounter between Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, and Julius Caesar, the Roman general and statesman. This meeting is said to have taken place in 47 BC, during which Cleopatra sought Caesar's support in her struggle for power in Egypt against her brother and co-ruler, Ptolemy XIII.

The artwork is notable for its intricate detail, historical accuracy in terms of costume and setting, and the dramatic tension between the two central figures. Gérôme, a prominent figure in the academic art tradition of the 19th century, was known for his meticulous approach to historical painting, often conducting extensive research to ensure the verisimilitude of his depictions.

In "Cleopatra and Caesar," Gérôme presents a theatrical scene where Cleopatra emerges from a carpet or sack, having been smuggled into Caesar's presence in a bold and desperate move to appeal to him personally. The composition focuses on the moment of Cleopatra's revelation to Caesar, capturing the surprise and curiosity of Caesar and his associates, as well as the calculated risk taken by Cleopatra in her bid for power.

The painting is housed in the collection of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. It has been widely studied and admired for its representation of a pivotal moment in ancient history and is considered one of Gérôme's masterpieces. "Cleopatra and Caesar" continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts alike, contributing to the enduring legacy of Jean-Léon Gérôme as a master of historical narrative in art.
