"Apelles und Campaspe" is a notable painting by the Flemish artist Nicolas Vleughels, created in the early 18th century. This artwork is inspired by the ancient story of Apelles, a renowned painter of antiquity, and Campaspe, a mistress of Alexander the Great. According to Pliny the Elder's account, Alexander allowed Apelles to paint Campaspe, and during the process, Apelles fell in love with her. Seeing the affection between them, Alexander magnanimously gifted Campaspe to Apelles.

Nicolas Vleughels, who was born in Paris to a Flemish family in 1668 and died in 1737, served as the director of the French Academy in Rome from 1724 until his death. His tenure there significantly influenced his artistic style, which blended French classicism with Italianate elements. "Apelles und Campaspe" is a testament to Vleughels' skill in capturing the subtleties of human emotion and the beauty of the human form, hallmarks of his mature work.

The painting is a masterful representation of the historical and romantic narrative, showcasing Vleughels' ability to convey complex narratives through his art. It is characterized by its classical composition, the delicate rendering of the figures, and the interplay of light and shadow, which highlights the emotional connection between the subjects. The work reflects the artist's deep engagement with the themes of love, creativity, and sacrifice, which were prevalent in the art and literature of his time.

"Apelles und Campaspe" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Nicolas Vleughels and continues to be studied for its historical significance and artistic merit. It is a prime example of the cross-cultural artistic exchanges that were common in the European art world of the 18th century, blending Flemish artistry with Italian and French influences. The painting is also significant for its depiction of a story that celebrates the power of love and the arts, themes that resonate with audiences even today.
