Some words about the Cleopatra by Mariano Vargas. As everybody knows Cleopatra is considered one of the most charming and intelligent woman in history, killed by the bite of a snake after her lover's death (the roman Marco Antonio). Someone says it's a legend but it is very romantic to believe in it! Many artists painted the Cleopatra as Artemisia Gentileschi an italian early baroque painter, today considered one of the most accomplished painters in the generation influenced by Caravaggio.
