"The Banquet of Cleopatra" is a 17th-century painting by the Flemish artist Ottmar Elliger the Elder, a notable figure in the Baroque period known for his still life and flower pieces. This artwork, which dates back to circa 1660, is a depiction of the famous episode from antiquity involving Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, and the Roman general Mark Antony. The scene is set during a lavish banquet where Cleopatra, in a display of extravagance and to win a wager against Antony, dissolves a pearl in a glass of vinegar (or wine) and drinks it.

Elliger's interpretation of this historical event is rich in detail and emblematic of the Baroque era's fascination with drama, opulence, and the exploration of multi-sensory experiences. The painting is characterized by its vivid colors, intricate compositions, and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, which were hallmarks of the Baroque style. The figures are rendered with a high degree of realism, and the luxurious setting is filled with sumptuous textiles, ornate vessels, and an abundance of food, all of which serve to underscore the theme of decadence and the transitory nature of earthly pleasures.

"The Banquet of Cleopatra" by Ottmar Elliger the Elder is not only a representation of a historical narrative but also an example of the artist's skill in blending still life elements with complex figure compositions. This work is significant in the context of Elliger's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque art in the Northern European tradition. The painting is an important piece for art historians and enthusiasts who are interested in the cultural exchanges between the Italian and Flemish artistic schools during the 17th century.
