摘要

In this thesis I argue that Michelangelo's Cleopatra drawing for his friend Tommaso de'Cavalieri has been isolated from its historical circumstances, its literary and visual context, and ultimately its political context as well. Michelangelo's depiction of the ancient queen Cleopatra at the moment of her suicide fits into a substantial literary and visual tradition. Working through this extensive tradition, I provide multiple examples of powerful Renaissance patrons utilizing the image of Cleopatra for political ends. In this thesis I suggest that Michelangelo also utilized the complex iconography of Cleopatra's suicide to make a statement about his and Cavalieri's shared political beliefs.;The meaning of Michelangelo's Cleopatra can best be understood by considering the historical context of the artist's relationship with Cavalieri. I provide in this thesis a new understanding of Michelangelo and Cavalieri's relationship based on both men's civic-mindedness, demonstrated through an active involvement in the government of their respective cities. In light of the significant role politics played in Michelangelo and Cavalieri's friendship, the artist's reference to a pivotal figure in the history of the Roman Republic takes on new meaning. I argue throughout this thesis that the Cleopatra conveyed heightened political meaning for the two friends. This study not only illuminates the meaning of the drawing, but also adds to our understanding of how politics informed Michelangelo and Cavalieri's life-long friendship.
