While it is true that the Neverland home featured many nude figures in it's art permanently affixed collection (as indoor paintings, freezes and wall art carvings, and outdoor sculptures of both male and female images in various states of full nudity or partially undressed), none look more graphic or prophetic a scene as the one shown here in the picture of the gold gilded frame painting of a famous political historical figure celebrity deathbed scene seen to the left.
The painting's title? "Cleopatra's Last Moments". The "high end collectible items only" auction house disclosure where Michael Jackson first bought the art described it as follows:
When the Neverland Ranch items were scheduled to go up for auction back when the star was struggling financially and losing the home, this painting was included as one to be sold off on the aution block, with an appraisal estimated value of $30,000 - $50,000.
When Michael Jackson's last moments
What are your thoughts? Do you suppose Jackson already had a vague sense of what was coming, and perhaps was drawn to this graphic untimely death image based on his intuition? Would you love a piece of art like this in your home or would the subject matter be too controversial for you to want to add it in to your interior decorating schematic?
