So I got the opportunity last month to make a pitch for a short animated film! So I decided to tell the tale of two paintings in a art museum who get into a fight but ultimately fall in love and decide to hop into a frame together. Unfortunately it wasn't chosen in the end but I am planning to do something with this story in the near future!

‘The Suicide of Cleopatra Bitten by the Asp’ Giovanni Pietro Rizzoli, known as Giampietrino, sixteenth century, oil on wood, 28 ¾ x 29 ½/ in. (73 x 75 cm), Musée du Louvre, Paris

Cleopatra was a powerful woman indeed. Queen of Egypt (69-30 BCE), she was successively the wife of her brothers Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV, who sent her into exile. As mistress of Julius Caesar, however, she was to return to power and, with the assistance of Rome, strove to restore Eeypt's hegemony over the Mediterranean. After the death of her lover, Caesar, she married Mark Antony, who offered to divide the East with her. Threatened by this confederation, Caesar's heir Octavian fought Antony and Cleopatra's troops at Actium, roundly defeating them. In order to save their honor, the only option for the defeated was to commit suicide. Until the very end, Cleopatra controlled her own life and those of the men around her. She is for this reason a prototype of the dangerous femme fatale.
