Apelles Painting Campaspe, 1620-1629: A Captivating Depiction of Love and Royalty by Frans Francken II This stunning oil painting, titled "Apelles Painting Campaspe," is a masterpiece by the Flemish artist Frans Francken II, created between 1620 and 1629. The painting depicts the famous scene from Greek mythology where the great Macedonian king, Alexander the Great, requests the renowned painter Apelles to capture the likeness of Campaspe, the beautiful captive princess of Illyria, whom he has fallen deeply in love with. The painting showcases the intense connection between the two figures. Apelles, with a focused expression, paints Campaspe's portrait, while she gazes back at him with a loving and trusting look. The scene is set in a luxurious environment, with rich fabrics, ornate furnishings, and exotic objects from the far-off lands Alexander has conquered. Francken masterfully captures the essence of the Baroque era, with its vibrant colors and dramatic lighting. The painting is a testament to the power of love and the importance of art in the royal court. The Danish National Gallery, Statens Museum for Kunst, is proud to house this magnificent artwork, which is a true treasure of heritage art from the seventeenth century. The painting's composition is based on the story of Apelles and Campaspe, which has been a popular subject in art since ancient times. The scene is often depicted as a symbol of the power of art to capture the essence of beauty and the complexities of human emotions. This painting is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, mythology, or the Baroque era.
