 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).

Maybe, like that other popular artist British knight, Sir Elton John, Sir Lawrence knew what struck the public's fancy, and was content to make a lot of money by devoting his considerable talents and energy to providing it.
Alma Tadema is not nearly as well-regarded as others who painted in the same era, but there is something about his work that is compelling.

 Lawrence Alma-Tadema Biography
Born Lourens Tadema (Alma being his middle name) in Dronryp, Friesland, to Pieter Tadema, a notary, and his second wife Hinke Brouwer - from an early age he showed some artistic ability and the beginnings of his highly methodical and exacting nature as demonstrated in his paintings to follow.
So fascinated was he by the Roman remains with their preponderance of marble that, within a few years, ancient Roman subject matter came to the fore in his work.
The Tademas soon moved to Paris where Lourens entered into a long-term contract with the well-known art dealer Ernest Gambart, an influential man with connections throughout Europe.

 About Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema
Alma-Tadema, Sir Lawrence (1836 - 1912), few artists enjoyed the success that the Dutch-born painter Lawrence Alma-Tadema achieved in the United Kingdom with his studies of semi-nudes, which were set against a background of daily life in ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt.
Born in Dronrijp, his art training began at the Antwerp Academy, and was completed with Baron Leys, an historical painter whose careful reconstructions of life in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries made him the ideal teacher for a painter like Alma-Tadema, whose choice of subject-matter had always been similar.
However, Alma-Tadema's paintings, like most of his Victorian contemporaries, are now back in fashion again - The Finding of Moses sold for £1.5 million in 1995.
