SIR LAWRENCE ALMA-TADEMA

WOMAN AND FLOWERS, 1868

About the Artwork

In many paintings, Alma-Tadema infused the stylistic elements of northern European scenes of daily life with the contemporary Victorian interest in classical antiquity (the artist kept 168 volumes of photographs of Greek and Roman antiquities). Here, Alma-Tadema depicted a woman in classical dress leaning on a Pompeian bronze table, the model for which is now in the archaeological museum in Naples. The artist’s detailed treatment of flowers, jewelry, and textiles helps to create a sensuous and highly exotic mood.
