The picture is written on a real historical plot, as always with Lorrain, greatly transformed. The Queen arrives in Tarsus, intending to seduce Mark Antony and thereby subordinate him to the will of the Egyptians. This is a kind of content.
In fact, Lorraine, as usual, uses “literature” as an excuse – to once again engage in the construction of his favorite enfilade of light space. The result of this construction is impressive.
