EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry depicting Cleopatra at Her Toilette, an exquisite piece of artwork made in Florence during the Renaissance-Baroque period. Housed in the Royal Apartments of the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, this tapestry embodies the opulence and grandeur of European nobility. The image transports us back to ancient times as we witness Cleopatra's daily routine. The scene is filled with intricate details that bring her world to life - from the majestic lion resting beside her to the lush vegetation surrounding them. Cleopatra herself is portrayed in all her regal splendor, adorned with a stunning necklace and sporting an elaborate hairstyle. A maid attends to Cleopatra's needs while a mischievous putto looks on, adding a touch of whimsy to this otherwise solemn setting. The presence of a viper hints at Egyptian mythology and adds an air of mystery and danger. The craftsmanship displayed in this tapestry is truly awe-inspiring; every stitch tells a story. It serves as a testament to Florentine workmanship and their mastery over textile artistry during the 17th century. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1920-1930, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its enduring beauty. It captures both physiological and psychological aspects through its portrayal of one woman's preparation for her day ahead. Alinari Fratelli has expertly captured this masterpiece through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details even from afar. This print serves as a window into another time – inviting us to immerse ourselves in the rich history and artistic legacy preserved within these walls.
