EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and intricate tapestry print titled "Cleopatra Enjoys Herself at Sea" we are transported back to the 17th century, where the baroque era flourished. Created by Willem van Leefdael's workshop after a design by Justus van Egmont, this piece showcases the beauty of Flemish artistry. The scene depicts Cleopatra VII Philopator, Queen of Egypt, indulging in leisurely activities aboard a galley ship. Surrounded by an opulent floral garland and adorned in richly colored fabrics, Cleopatra exudes regality and elegance. Her presence is enhanced by the allegorical figures surrounding her; Cupid serenades her with his flute while a flautist plays enchanting melodies. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element comes alive through vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship. The flowered motifs add depth to the composition, creating a visual feast for the eyes. This artwork not only serves as a decorative masterpiece but also reflects ancient Egyptian culture and mythology. It captures Cleopatra's allure and power as she navigates both geographical features and political landscapes during her reign. Displayed within the Art Institute of Chicago's esteemed collection, this Aubusson tapestry exemplifies heritage art at its finest. Its presence invites viewers into an immersive experience that transports them back in time to witness Cleopatra's captivating world firsthand.
