Lawrence Alma-Tadema

by Rosemary Barrows, R J Barrow

About this title: Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema was one of the finest and most distinctive of the Victorian painters. Dutch-born, he moved to London in 1870, and became famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire, set in fabulous marbled interiors or against a backdrop of dazzling blue Mediterranean sea and sky. This study presents an absorbing and often amusing portrait of an exuberant personality who carved out a brilliant career for himself at the heart of London's artistic and cultural elite.

A Wonderful Edition, Apr 9, 2009
By EricRed, London, ON Canada

"Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema should be considered one of the last great classical painters of his time, the purity of his art is evident in his scenes of antiquity and ancient history. This book is a great summation of his life and work with plenty of colour reproductions. The text of the book by Barrows is well informed and written, at times her theories as to the meaning of Alma-Tadema's art a litte reaching, but this is a minor point overall. The book is a must-have for anyone interested in classicism, architecture & history. Highly recommended!"
