	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.
