内容説明
Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912)， was one of the finest and most distinctive of the Victorian painters. Dutch-born， he moved to London in 1870 and became famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire， set in fabulous marbled interiors or against a backdrop of dazzling blue Mediterranean sea and sky. In this original study， Rosemary Barrow presents an absorbing and often amusing portrait of an exuberant personality who carved out a brilliant career for himself at the heart of London’s artistic and cultural elite. But above all she subjects the paintings to a fresh scrutiny， and reveals that Alma-Tadema， a knowledgeable student of antiquity， repeatedly used literary and archaeological allusions in his paintings to play a game of interpretation with his viewers. Time and again the seeming innocence of the scenes he depicts is subverted by a mischievously placed inscription or statue， suggesting to the initiated a darker and usually risque meaning. Neglected after his death， Alma-Tadema’s paintings are once again admired for their beauty and their remarkable mastery of light， colour and texture. With its intriguing insights into his personality and intentions， this book should provide a challenging reassessment of a major artist.
Book Description
Lawrence Alma-Tadema was born in the Netherlands but spent most of his adult life in England， becoming a member of the Royal Academy and later gaining a knighthood. He was the quintessential Classicist painter， taking many of his themes from Greek and Roman Mythology. His work has a rich dream-like quality which is well illustrated in this book.
