This definitive study is the first to contain large color reproductions of the most spectacular work of Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema, one of the most successful painters of the Victorian era in England. Alma-Tadema's sumptuous and stunningly lit scenes have a freshness and immediacy that even today, a century after they were first exhibited, still have the power to amaze. An illustrated biographical introduction explores the artist's work in theater and costume design, and his lasting influence in such areas as architecture and film, where his paintings directly inspired the sets of Cecil B. DeMille's early Hollywood epics.
