EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Alexander and Campaspe" by Francesco Solimena depicts a significant moment in history, capturing the essence of love, power, and artistry. Painted before 1695 on a copper panel measuring 38x50 cm, this masterpiece is housed in The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth. Solimena, also known as l'Abbate Ciccio, skillfully portrays Alexander III of Macedon (commonly known as Alexander the Great) alongside his mistress Campaspe. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate armor worn by Alexander to the delicate features of both lovers' faces. This historical painting falls under the genre of history painting and showcases Solimena's talent for portraiture. The composition beautifully captures the intimate connection between Alexander and Campaspe while highlighting their individual strengths and vulnerabilities. As we gaze upon this print reproduced by Bridgeman Images with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, we are transported back in time to witness a powerful ruler who not only conquered nations but also found solace in love. It serves as a reminder that even great leaders have personal lives filled with passion and desire. "Alexander and Campaspe" stands as an enduring testament to the timeless themes explored through art - love, power dynamics, human emotions - all brought together by Solimena's masterful brushwork. This print allows us to appreciate the beauty of this historic artwork without any commercial use intentions or implications.
