"Alexander and Campaspe with Apelles, En Grisaille" is a notable work by the Italian painter Luigi Sabatelli, who was an influential figure in the Neoclassical movement during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This particular piece is executed in the grisaille technique, a method of painting in shades of gray to create the illusion of sculpture or relief. The work depicts a scene from the life of Alexander the Great, focusing on his relationship with Campaspe and the renowned painter Apelles.

The narrative behind the painting is rooted in ancient history and classical literature. According to legend, Campaspe was a beautiful concubine of Alexander the Great. Recognizing her beauty, Alexander commissioned Apelles, one of the most celebrated painters of antiquity, to paint her portrait. During the process, Apelles fell in love with Campaspe. In a gesture of magnanimity, Alexander is said to have given Campaspe to Apelles, acknowledging that the artist's love for her surpassed his own.

Sabatelli's choice to render this scene in grisaille is significant, as it emphasizes the classical themes and the sculptural quality of the figures, aligning with the Neoclassical aesthetic that sought to revive the ideals of ancient Greek and Roman art. The monochromatic palette allows viewers to focus on the composition, form, and emotional expressions of the characters without the distraction of color.

Luigi Sabatelli (1772-1850) was a prominent artist and teacher, known for his historical and mythological subjects. He studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence and later became a professor there. His works are characterized by their meticulous detail, classical themes, and the influence of Renaissance masters. "Alexander and Campaspe with Apelles, En Grisaille" exemplifies Sabatelli's skill in combining narrative depth with technical prowess, making it a significant piece in the study of Neoclassical art.
