"Cleopatra" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Lorenzo Pasinelli (1629–1700), who was active during the 17th century in Bologna. This artwork is one of the many interpretations of the historical figure Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, whose life and dramatic death have inspired countless artists throughout history. Pasinelli's rendition of Cleopatra is significant for its depiction of the moment of her tragic demise, a subject that has been a perennial source of fascination in Western art.

In the painting, Pasinelli portrays Cleopatra in the throes of her final act of defiance, as she succumbs to the venom of an asp, a symbol of her sovereignty and her ultimate means of escape from being paraded as a captive by the victorious Octavian, the future Emperor Augustus. The composition typically captures the opulence and exoticism associated with the queen's court, as well as the pathos of her death. Pasinelli's use of dramatic lighting and rich coloration is characteristic of the Baroque period's emphasis on emotional intensity and theatricality.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is presumed to have been produced during Pasinelli's mature period, when he was a leading figure in the Bolognese school of painting. The artwork reflects the influence of his master, Simone Cantarini, and echoes the broader Italian Baroque movement's fascination with themes of passion, mortality, and the transience of power.

"Cleopatra" by Lorenzo Pasinelli is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and contributes to the visual legacy of one of history's most enigmatic and portrayed women. The painting is also illustrative of the broader cultural and artistic trends of the Baroque era, serving as a testament to the enduring allure of Cleopatra's story and the rich tapestry of interpretations it has engendered in the visual arts.
