Campaspe 1896

"Campaspe" is a 1896 painting by John William Godward, known for his Pre-Raphaelite style and depictions of classical beauty. The painting features a nude woman, possibly Campaspe, a Greek courtesan and the subject of a famous portrait by Apelles. She is depicted in an idealized manner, surrounded by opulent fabrics and decorative elements, and her figure is bathed in a soft, golden light. This painting is a testament to Godward's mastery of realism and his fascination with the ancient world.
