Cleopatra VII was the last queen of Egypt, known for her intelligence and charm, Mark Antony was a powerful Roman general. They met in 41 BCE in Tarsus (modern-day Turkey) when Antony called Cleopatra to discuss her support for Rome.

Cleopatra and Mark Antony became lovers and allies, living together in Alexandria, Egypt, in Cleopatra’s royal palaces. They had three children together.

After losing their power and control over Egypt and realizing the end was near, Cleopatra hid and sent word that she was dead. Believing this, Antony stabbed himself. He was brought to her and died in her arms. Soon after, Cleopatra chose to end her own life rather than be taken prisoner, bringing their story to a close.

Photo Description:

• In daytime photos, Cleopatra is clearly visible while Mark Antony appears faintly.
• The more the painting is exposed to light and darkness, the more visible Mark Antony becomes.
• The single glowing blue photo was taken under UV light.
• The aqua coloured photos show the glow-in-the-dark effect at night.

How to Charge the Painting:

• Use a UV light to fully reveal the glow effect at night.
• Mark Antony is painted subtly, so he is barely visible during the day, UV light brings out the full effect.
• Even with only daylight or room light, the painting will charge and glow all night, but the glow’s vibrancy is much better with UV.
• In the video, a 395 nm UV bar (12 × 3 W = 36 W) was used to charge the painting in seconds.
• A UV light of 30–100 W mounted near the painting will also charge it quickly.
