An Original Hand Written and Signed by Artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Paper dated 1886. Short note about a meeting he cannot attend. Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, OM, RA born Lourens Alma Tadema 1836 ? 1912 was a Dutch painter of special British denizenship. Born in Dronryp, the Netherlands, and trained at the Royal Academy of Antwerp, Belgium, he settled in London, England in 1870 and spent the rest of his life there. A classical-subject painter, 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. Alma-Tadema was considered one of the most popular Victorian painters. Though admired during his lifetime for his draftsmanship and depictions of Classical antiquity, his work fell into disrepute after his death, and only since the 1960s has it been re-evaluated for its importance within nineteenth-century British art. Size is 155mm x 98mm. Condition is very good. Light folding crease. More images can be taken upon request. Ref17707. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 026504
