SIR LAWRENCE ALMA-TADEMA

 

expectations


Lawrence Alma-Tadema is one of the most highly renowned romantic artists of late 19th century. A classical-subject painter, he became famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire, with languorous figures set in fabulous marbled interiors or against a backdrop of dazzling blue Mediterranean Sea and sky.”
