Summary
| Description |
English: A miniature illustration from the 1409 AD illuminated manuscript of Giovanni Boccaccio's Des cas de nobles hommes et femmes (now in the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles); it depicts Mark Antony and Cleopatra in their tomb, with an asp slithering near her chest, and a bloody sword impaling his chest. Their figures are depicted as both dead bodies and as statues in a medieval Gothic environment rather than an ancient Hellenistic-period Ptolemaic-Egyptian setting.
