"Acme and Septimius" is a painting by the British artist Lord Frederick Leighton, completed in 1868. The work is based on a poem by the Roman poet Catullus, which tells the story of the passionate love between Acme and Septimius. Leighton, known for his classical subject matter and his role in the academic art movement of the Victorian era, brings to life the romantic tale with a rich use of color and meticulous attention to detail.

The painting depicts the moment when the couple, Acme and Septimius, are affirming their love for each other while the god of love, Cupid, smiles approvingly upon them. Leighton's portrayal of the figures is characterized by a sense of idealized beauty and a focus on sensuality and emotion, which is typical of his work. The composition is carefully constructed, with the figures arranged in a manner that draws the viewer's eye across the canvas, creating a narrative flow that enhances the storytelling aspect of the painting.

"Acme and Septimius" is an example of Leighton's mastery of the neoclassical style, which sought to revive the ideals and aesthetics of ancient Greek and Roman art. The painting reflects the Victorian fascination with classical antiquity and the period's penchant for romanticized historical and mythological themes. Leighton's work was highly regarded in his time, and he was a leading figure in the Royal Academy of Arts, eventually serving as its president.

Today, "Acme and Septimius" is appreciated for its technical skill and its embodiment of the romantic and classical ideals that were prevalent in 19th-century British art. The painting is part of Leighton's broader oeuvre, which includes other well-known works such as "Flaming June" and "The Garden of the Hesperides." "Acme and Septimius" continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the history of British art and its representation of Victorian artistic and cultural values.
