A Female View of Cleopatra

            Ferrara, Castello Estense, September 2018

The suicide of Cleopatra, as depicted by Artemisia Gentileschi, c. 1620. From the Cavallini Sgarbi Collection.

One of the few women who made a professional career in painting in the 17th century, Artemisia Gentileschi specialised in depicting female characters from mythological and biblical stories. Interestingly, her Cleopatra is one of the most revealing from the period. So much for the so-called "male gaze".
