Acme and Septimius is an oil painting by Frederic Leighton, first exhibited in 1868. Leighton took the subject from a love poem by the Roman poet Catullus.[1]

Background

In 1868, Leighton was elected Royal Academician, and the Academy had six contributions from his palette which fixed his reputation.[2] His style bore the strong influence of his recent visits to Greece, and projected new visions of themes which had attracted him in childhood.[2] Acme and Septimius was perhaps the most popular picture of the year in England.[3]

Description

Acme and Septimius is a circular picture, with two small full-length figures reclining on a marble bench.[3] This extract from Sir Theodore Martin's translation of Catullus 45 was appended to its title in the Royal Academy catalogue: Шаблон:Blockquote
