Generosity of Alexander

Generosity of Alexander is a neoclassical style, oil-on-canvas painting by the French artist Jérôme-Martin Langlois. The painting was exhibited at the 1819 Paris Salon and won a first-prize medal. It is currently on display at the Musée des Augustins in Toulouse, France. In the painting, Alexander the Great gives his concubine, Campaspe, as a gift to the painter Apelles when he sees that the painter has fallen in love with her. The painting is a depiction of a well-known and perhaps apocryphal story of Alexander the Great's generosity.
