"The Banquet of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra" is a 1717 painting by the Italian artist Francesco Trevisani. This work of art captures a historical and romanticized scene featuring two of the most famous figures of ancient history, Mark Antony (83-30 BC) and Cleopatra VII (69-30 BC). The painting reflects the grandeur and drama of the late Baroque period, showcasing Trevisani's skill in composition, use of color, and ability to convey narrative through visual art.

Francesco Trevisani (1656-1746) was a prominent painter of the Roman Baroque, known for his religious and historical scenes. In "The Banquet of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra," Trevisani illustrates a lavish feast, a subject popular in the Baroque era for its opportunities to display opulence, emotion, and dynamic human interaction. The painting is believed to depict the moment from the historical accounts of Plutarch and others, where Cleopatra wagers that she can spend ten million sesterces on a single meal. She famously wins the bet by dissolving a pearl in a cup of vinegar (or wine) and drinking it, impressing Mark Antony with her extravagance.

The artwork is a testament to the fascination with classical antiquity that prevailed in the 18th century, as well as to the enduring allure of Cleopatra as a figure of wealth, power, and seduction. Trevisani's rendition of the scene is imbued with the theatricality characteristic of the Baroque, capturing the viewer's imagination with its detailed rendering of textures, fabrics, and expressions.

"The Banquet of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra" is a significant example of Trevisani's mastery and contributes to the understanding of cultural and artistic interpretations of historical events during the Baroque period. The painting remains an important piece within Trevisani's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical value.
