| | Alma-Tadema, Sir Lawrence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04) |
 | | Tadema was arguably the most successful painter of the Victorian era. |
 | | It was not until 1973 that a biography of Alma-Tadema was printed (by Russell Ash), and not until 1990 that a full color book containing large prints of his paintings was published (ISBN 0-8109-1898-6, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Russell Ash, Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 100 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011). |
 | | One seldom noticed influence Tadema has had on modern art is the vision of the ancient world portrayed in such films as D. Griffith's Intolerance (1916), Ben Hur (1926), and Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments (1956), and Cleopatra (1934). |
