Self-Portrait 1883 oil on canvas 34.5 x 29.7 cm |
Born in Dronrij, Holland, and trained at the Royal Academy of Antwerp, Belgium. He settled in England in 1870 and spent the rest of his life there. 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.
Though
admired during his lifetime for his draftsmanship and depictions of classical
asubjects, his work fell out of favour after his death, and only since the
1960s has it been re-evaluated for its importance within nineteenth-century
English art.
This is part 2 of a 3-part post on the works of Lawrence Alma-Tadema. For full biographical notes on Tadema, and for earlier works, see part 1 also.
