EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Alexander Ceding Campaspe to Apelles" we are transported back in time to witness a moment of profound emotion and sacrifice. Created by the talented French artist Jerome-Martin Langlois in 1819, this black and white chalk masterpiece is brought to life with delicate gray washes and heightened with white gouache. The scene depicted here tells the story of Alexander the Great, one of history's most renowned conquerors, relinquishing his beloved companion Campaspe to the celebrated painter Apelles. The composition beautifully captures the anguish on Alexander's face as he surrenders his love for the sake of art. His eyes reflect both pain and admiration for Apelles' talent, while Campaspe gazes at her new admirer with a mix of curiosity and longing. Langlois skillfully employs various techniques to bring depth and texture to this artwork. The meticulous use of chalk creates intricate details that draw us into every crease on their garments, while the subtle gray washes add dimensionality to their figures against a neutral background. This remarkable print from Liszt Collection serves as a poignant reminder that even great leaders must make sacrifices for greater causes. It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as love, loyalty, artistic inspiration, and selflessness—a testament to Langlois' ability not only as an artist but also as a storyteller through his brushstrokes.
