Cleopatra (c. 1890s)
by Wilhelm Kotarbiński
Polish (1848 - 1921)

Wilhelm Kotarbiński’s painting “Cleopatra” is a striking example of his work in the Art Nouveau style, which is known for its intricate designs and emphasis on curvilinear forms. The painting portrays Cleopatra, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, in a way that emphasizes her legendary beauty and seductive power, which have been subjects of fascination throughout history.

In the context of Art Nouveau, Kotarbiński  used flowing lines and organic forms to capture the sensuality and allure associated with Cleopatra. The use of color and composition would play a significant role in conveying the opulence and decadence of her court. Cleopatra is often depicted in art and literature surrounded by luxury and engaging in political machinations, and Kotarbiński’s painting reflects these themes.

Kotarbiński’s work is characterized by a blend of historical and fantastical elements, and his portrayal of Cleopatra would be no exception, blending historical accuracy with artistic imagination to create a compelling image that captures the viewer’s attention and invites them to explore the story behind the figure.
