Description: Milano: Skira, 2013. 28cm., pbk., 320pp., 197 color, 237 b&w illus. Exhibition held at Chiostro del Bramante, Roma. Italian text. From the museum's website: From 10 October 2013 to 2 February 2014 Rome’s Chiostro del Bramante will be hosting a major exhibition focusing on the figure of Cleopatra (Alexandria, 69 B.C. - 30 B.C.). Ptolemaic Egypt, the fascinating life of Cleopatra, her influence on the political events of the era and the relationship between Rome and Egypt: all of this is explored in an exhibition that counts more than 200 works from leading national and international museums. The exhibition presents aspects of ancient Egyptian culture inseparably linked to the environment of the river Nile, examining historical events that forged key relationships and gave rise to interests of various kinds between Rome and Ptolemaic Egypt. The works on show form a stunning blend of art and history: precious sculptures in granite, basalt and schist from Egypt’s famous quarries, Greek and Carrara marble, alabaster, multicoloured mosaics and frescoes, bronzes, glazed terracotta, gold and silver, glass, ivory and gemstones produce a fascinating, kaleidoscopic picture of distant times and places.
