"The Death of Cleopatra" is a Baroque painting created by the German artist Johann Liss between 1622 and 1624. This artwork is considered one of Liss's most significant pieces, showcasing his ability to convey dramatic intensity and emotional depth. The painting depicts the tragic demise of Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, who is historically believed to have committed suicide by allowing an asp to bite her.

Johann Liss, born around 1597, was an influential figure in the early Baroque period, known for his dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color. His work often featured religious and mythological subjects, rendered with a sense of movement and a dramatic play of light and shadow, characteristics that are evident in "The Death of Cleopatra."

The painting captures the moment of Cleopatra's death with a theatrical flair, emphasizing the emotional turmoil of the scene. Cleopatra is often portrayed in a reclined position, her body language expressing the agony of her final moments. The inclusion of the asp, the instrument of her death, adds a poignant and symbolic touch to the composition.

Liss's interpretation of Cleopatra's death is notable for its departure from the idealized beauty often associated with the queen in other artworks. Instead, he focuses on the raw and human aspects of the scene, offering viewers a more intimate and psychological portrayal of Cleopatra's character.

"The Death of Cleopatra" by Johann Liss is housed in the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig, Germany. It remains an important work for the study of Baroque art and continues to be admired for its emotional resonance and technical mastery. The painting is a testament to Liss's skill as an artist and his contribution to the development of 17th-century European art.
