Le banquet de Marc-Antoine et Cléopâtre
School : France, Paris
Description
Tapisserie en laine et soie dont l'iconographie figure un épisode des amours de Marc-Antoine et Cléopâtre : Le banquet d'Antoine et Cléopâtre ou La Perle. Ce repas où la table est placée au bord du tableau, au devant d'une rangée de troncs d'arbres, se retrouve dans la Cléopâtre de la Tenture des Femmes illustres de Moillon. La pose d'Antoine est cependant un peu plus raide dans cette pièce-ci et le nombre des assistants plus réduit. Par ailleurs, on peut citer une pièce d'une tenture de son contemporain Poerson, et également La Perle, très voisine par la disposition et la pose des personnages.
