9.21 Cleopatra by domenicododaro

9.21 Cleopatra

In 1874 Mr. Alfonso Balzico sculpted this amazing Cleopatra. The Egyptian queen is staring intently to the snake that will kill her. I loved this statue.
I love this statue! I will need to see it face to face. Fantastic intensity in her expression. Lovely shadows and way to capture her.

@kerosene You need, the amount of detail and their finesse is stunning... When you and your darlings will come to Rome, I will be more than glad to lead you in this amazing museum!

@joysabin Thank you for your fav! Much appreciated. I think the sculptor was very good at catching her expression.

Her expression is captivating. Does she know what lies ahead?

Yes, that looks is just amazing, beautiful work in the photography of this and the sculpturing of the statute.

@helenhall I fear I’m a bit late in answering your kind comment, Helen, my apologies. Yes, she has the snake looking at her!
@365street thank you a lot! And as Mr Balzico passed away in1901, I’ll take his part of compliments!
