What’s this painting?

[(Anonymous)]

Cleopatra and Caesar by Jean-Léon Gérôme

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra_and_Caesar_(painting)

Thanks!

I've always felt the same even as I liked Mark Antony more than Julius Caesar. I liked Octavian best of all, but I'm glad he never captured Cleopatra, considering his plans for her. Though it's sad she committed suicide to escape that fate.

[(Anonymous)]

But have you seen Mark Antony's legs? They are the stuff of legends, literally.

[(Anonymous)]

Are they? Are there genuinely written contemporary sources about how amazing Mark Anthony's legs were? I desperately want this to be true lol.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes actually. Many sources to talk about how he wore his tunic higher up his thighs to show of his legs. This is a quote from Plutarch

"And this tradition Antony thought that he confirmed, both by the shape of his body, as has been said, and by his attire. For whenever he was going to be seen by many people, he always wore his tunic girt up to his thigh, a large sword hung at his side, and a heavy cloak enveloped him. However, even what others thought offensive, namely, his jesting and boastfulness, his drinking-horn in evidence, his sitting by a comrade who was eating, or his standing to eat at a soldier's table, — it is astonishing how much goodwill and affection for him all this produced in his soldiers. "

Also:
"He had also a noble dignity of form; and a shapely beard, a broad forehead, and an aquiline nose were thought to show the virile qualities peculiar to the portraits and statues of Hercules."

Seriously, we need a Cleopatra-centered miniseries.

[(Anonymous)]

Word. So long as she wasn't played by a bloomin' black person. She was Greek ffs.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah but don't you know anon, every important ancient Egyptian figure was an amazingly black Nubian god/goddess.

[(Anonymous)]

Not just Ancient Egypt, EVERYONE. Lol. There aren’t any other races at all and everyone should be portayed that way. We're even going to culturally appropriate other people's culture because all POC are black. Or rather the only POC that matter are black. #massivehypocrisy
