Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema: A collection of 194 paintings (HD)
Description: "Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Dutch-born painter of scenes from everyday life in the ancient world whose work was immensely popular in its time.
Alma-Tadema, the son of a Dutch notary, studied art at the Antwerp Academy (1852-58) under the Belgian historical painter Hendrik Leys, assisting the painter in 1859 with frescoes for the Stadhuis (town hall) in Antwerp. During a visit to Italy in 1863, Alma-Tadema became interested in Greek and Roman antiquity and Egyptian archaeology, and afterward he depicted imagery almost exclusively from those sources. Moving to England, he became a naturalized British subject in 1873 and was elected a member of the Royal Academy in 1879. He was knighted in 1899.
Alma-Tadema excelled at the accurate re-creation of ancient architecture and costumes and the precise depiction of textures of marble, bronze, and silk. His expert rendering of settings provides a backdrop for anecdotal scenes set in the ancient world. Alma-Tadema’s wife, Laura Epps, was also a painter.."

Beautiful, so beautiful.... I saw an exposition of his last april, when I was in Vienna.... Such craftmanship, such skills... Amazing.

Thanks a million. This is a feast for the mind, heart, and body. This artist was extraordinary and divinely gifted; not to mention prolific. His knowledge of the ancients was vast and detailed; rich and delightful. He had humor, too. How fortunate for the early filmmakers Fred Niblo (Ben Hur) and Cecil B. DeMille (The Ten Commandments) who could see how ancient Rome and Egypt looked with authenticity.

Stunning.

I love the one called "A Roman Emperor A.D 41." It depicts the assassination of Caligula. If you look at the position of
Caligula's corpse you notice his feet are up beside his head indicating the emperor must have died a fast, brutal and violent death. No living person could lie that way. The man trying to hide behind the curtain is Claudius, who was Caligula's uncle and was declared emperor on the spot.
its just so much drama!!!!

In his picture visible from 1:08, the master makes a mistake insofar as he shows the statue of Augustus uncolored. Statues of ancient Greece and Rome were always painted.
