Description

A prequel to my previous artwork, Last Moments. Cleopatra dreams of the power she so desires with her Roman lover... or are they just each other's tool? There are only a few very rough representations of Cleopatra from antiquity yet there are some very detailed busts of Caesar and Mark Antony. I could have easily morphed the Roman seen here to look like one of those two legendary men. Instead, I chose to make my own artistic representation. He could be a young Caesar or a seasoned Mark Antony. It's up to the viewer to decide.

A wonderful image of a lost moment in time. Imagine what they could have accomplished, had they succeeded. Two of the greatest empires in history, merged at a critical moment in both their histories. How would it have changed our world? Kudos to you for taking artistic liberties with the faces. Art is about our emotional interpretation of reality, not simply reproducing the past. This image was instantly recognizable even so. The lighting, posing, costumes, textures, POV and DOF are all flawless. Bravo!

Well, it a pretty good bet that Cleopatra did not look much like Elizabeth Taylor... I think you have come closer to what I imagine Cleopatra looked like. And that's an excellent job on Antony. Very well done, Lizzy!
