EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "The Flight of Cleopatra," depicts the legendary queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, Cleopatra VII Philopator, in a moment of regal determination as she reclines on the bow of a boat, sailing the turbulent seas. Circa 1921, this masterpiece was brought to life by the skilled brushstrokes of Charles de Sousy Ricketts, a renowned British artist. Cleopatra, the queen renowned for her intelligence, beauty, and political acumen, ruled Egypt from 51 to 30 BC. In this painting, she is shown leaving Egypt, possibly to meet Mark Antony, her Roman lover, in a final bid to save her kingdom from the encroaching forces of Rome. The colorful scene is filled with a sense of drama and excitement, as Cleopatra's boat cuts through the choppy waters, leaving a wake behind. This painting is a testament to the enduring allure of Cleopatra's story and the power of art to capture the imagination. It is believed to be a part of Volume 14 of a magazine, but the specific title and publication date have yet to be identified. Regardless, this painting remains a stunning example of the artistic talent and historical significance of Charles de Sousy Ricketts.
