My master copy of Guido Cagnacci’s “The Death of Cleopatra”, is finally varnished, framed and up on the wall. Thanks to the #metmuseum for making the hi-res files available to the public. 🙏🏼 #classicalpainting #baroqueportrait #oilpainting #mastercopy #guidocagnacci

I’m taking a classic oil painting class at Kline Academy and have been working on a master copy of #guidocagnacci “The Death of Cleopatra” c. 1645-55. After 6 weeks, I’m sill working on the #grisaille underpainting layer but hope to move onto staining and coloring soon.
