"Cleopatra's Death" is an oil painting created by Johann Heinrich The Elder Tischbein in 1787. It presents a rendition of the tragic ending of the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, Cleopatra VII Philopator (69–30 BC). The painting portrays the moment of Cleopatra's death, supposedly from a venomous snake bite, in grand neoclassical style.

Regarded as one of Tischbein's most compelling works, the "Cleop's Death" bears notable elements and techniques of the Neoclassical period. Characterized by the dramatic imagery and the fondness for historical narratives, the artwork pays attention to detail and aims to uphold the historical accuracy consistent with the 18th-century understanding of ancient Egypt. Tischbein uses an extensive play of light and shade to endow the scene with a sense of urgency and tragedy.

In the composition, the viewer's attention is instantly drawn towards a polished representation of Cleopatra, where she lies in state on her gilded throne, her life slipping away. In her arms, there is a small figure of the deadly asp – an emblem of Egyptian royalty, and also her supposed method of suicide.

"Cleopatra's Death" stands as a powerful testament to Johann Heinrich The Elder Tischbein's artistic skill and his adeptness at imbuing historical narratives with a sense of dramatic impact. The work remains a significant contribution to Neoclassical painting, notable for its fusion of meticulous detail, narrative storytelling, and psychological depth.
