Es zeigt eine Szene aus der Historia Augusta, die beschreibt, wie der römische Kaiser Heliogabal seine ahnungslosen Gäste bei einem Bankett unter einem Rosenblüten-Wasserfall erstickt. Der Künstler konzentriert sich auf den Kontrast zwischen dem dekadenten Luxus der römischen Elite und der tödlichen Natur des kaiserlichen Streichs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlma-Tadema war bekannt für seine archäologische Präzision und seine Fähigkeit, Texturen, insbesondere Marmor, Seide und organisches Material, wiederzugeben. In dieser Komposition dominiert das schiere Volumen pinker und weißer Blütenblätter den Vordergrund und erzeugt ein Gefühl erstickender Dichte. Die Figuren sind auf einer erhöhten Plattform angeordnet, wobei der Kaiser auf einem Sofa liegt und das Chaos mit gleichgültigem Ausdruck beobachtet. Der Hintergrund zeigt klassische Architektur, einschließlich Marmorsäulen und einen fernen Blick auf einen mediterranen Himmel, der ein Gefühl von Maßstab und räumlicher Tiefe vermittelt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnisch gesehen demonstriert das Werk die Meisterschaft des Künstlers in Licht und Farbe. Das weiche, diffuse Tageslicht beleuchtet die Blütenblätter und verleiht ihnen eine taktile Qualität. Die Komposition ist sorgfältig ausbalanciert, wobei die fallenden Blumen als visuelle Brücke zwischen dem oberen Bankettbereich und der unteren Ebene, wo die Gäste begraben liegen, fungieren. Alma-Tadema verbrachte viel Zeit mit der Erforschung der spezifischen Rosensorte, um botanische Genauigkeit zu gewährleisten, was seine Hingabe an den Realismus in seinen historischen Themen widerspiegelt. Das Gemälde bleibt ein primäres Beispiel der akademischen Kunst des späten neunzehnten Jahrhunderts, in der technische Fertigkeiten und narratives Drama hoch geschätzt wurden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eDas könnte Ihnen auch gefallen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/rocas-porfidos-del-tepeyac-jose-maria-velasco\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRocas (Pórfidos del Tepeyac) - José María Velasco — José María Velasco\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/male-nude-edgar-degas\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMännlicher Akt - Edgar Degas — Edgar Degas\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58573819511119,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58573822493007,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58573822525775,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58573822558543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58573822591311,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58573822624079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58573822656847,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58573822689615,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58573822722383,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58573822755151,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58573822787919,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58573822820687,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Roses-of-Heliogabalus_Poster_CompositorV1_1791513635471.jpg?v=1791530010"},{"product_id":"this-is-our-corner-sir-lawrence-alma-tadema","title":"Dies ist unsere Ecke - Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema","description":"\u003cp\u003eEin zärtliches, häusliches Porträt von Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, das seine beiden Töchter in einem stillen Lesemoment zu Hause darstellt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSir Lawrence Alma-Tadema ist weithin bekannt für seine akribischen Darstellungen der klassischen Antike, doch dieses Werk bietet einen seltenen Einblick in sein häusliches Leben. Gemalt im Jahr 1873, fängt „This is our Corner“ seine beiden Töchter, Anna und Laurence, im privaten Bereich ihres Zuhauses ein. Die Komposition ist intim und still, entfernt sich von den großen historischen Erzählungen, die einen Großteil seines professionellen Schaffens prägten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDas Gemälde zeigt eine Tochter im Vordergrund, ein Buch haltend, während die andere auf einer gepolsterten Bank im Hintergrund liegt, vertieft ins Lesen. Die Beleuchtung ist sanft und lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Texturen der Kleidung der Mädchen und die geflochtenen Möbel. Alma-Tadema verwendet eine gedämpfte Farbpalette, die den Fokus auf die entspannten Haltungen und die sanften Gesichtsausdrücke der Kinder lenkt. Der Hintergrund enthält subtile dekorative Elemente, die auf das Interesse des Künstlers an Innenarchitektur und die ästhetischen Bewegungen der späten viktorianischen Ära hindeuten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIm Gegensatz zu seinen großformatigen Leinwänden, die römische Szenen darstellen, zeigt dieses Werk seine Fähigkeit, persönliche Sujets mit der gleichen technischen Präzision darzustellen. Der Pinselstrich ist kontrolliert und fängt das Spiel des Lichts auf dem Stoff und dem gestreiften Bodenbelag ein. Es bietet einen Einblick in die täglichen Gewohnheiten einer Familie, die in den 1870er Jahren in London lebte. Das Werk bleibt ein hervorragendes Beispiel für die Vielseitigkeit des Künstlers, das seine Fähigkeit zeigt, technische Strenge mit einem zärtlichen, beobachtenden Ansatz gegenüber seinem eigenen Haushalt in Einklang zu bringen.

This etching, titled 'Lamentation of a Widow of Memphis at the Coffin of Her Husband', demonstrates his fascination with Egyptian antiquity, a subject that occupied his creative output during the 1870s. The composition depicts a sombre interior scene where a grieving woman kneels beside an ornate sarcophagus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist employs a high degree of precision in the rendering of the architectural elements, from the papyrus-capital columns to the wall reliefs adorned with hieroglyphs. The figures are positioned within a space that feels both intimate and grand, balancing the personal sorrow of the widow with the rigid formality of the funerary setting. Musicians are present in the background, their presence suggesting a ritualised expression of mourning common to the period the artist sought to evoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlma-Tadema utilised his extensive knowledge of historical artefacts to ensure the authenticity of the setting. The textures of the fabrics, the carved wood of the furniture, and the reflective quality of the floor are captured through fine, controlled lines characteristic of his graphic work. By focusing on the domestic and emotional aspects of ancient life, he moved away from the heroic depictions common in the art of his contemporaries. This work offers a glimpse into the artist's methodology, where historical accuracy and human emotion intersect. The print serves as a record of his interest in the material culture of Egypt, reflecting the Victorian obsession with the exotic and the ancient.

This work captures a contemporary scene of a young man resting in a harvested wheat field, seeking respite from the intense heat of a summer day. The title refers to the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, conveying the oppressive warmth through the golden, parched tones of the stubble and the relaxed posture of the figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is dominated by the expansive, sun-bleached field, punctuated by scattered sheaves of wheat that draw the eye toward the horizon. The artist employs a precise, realistic technique to render the textures of the dry stalks and the fabric of the subject's light-coloured clothing. A pith helmet, a common accessory for outdoor activities during the Victorian era, protects the figure from the sun. The sky above remains clear and pale, suggesting a cloudless, sweltering afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlma-Tadema demonstrates his technical proficiency in the handling of light and shadow. While the scene appears simple, the attention to detail in the foreground vegetation and the subtle variations in the ochre and amber hues of the field reveal his meticulous approach to observation. This painting offers a glimpse into the artist's ability to document the quiet, mundane moments of life in the English countryside, contrasting with his more elaborate historical reconstructions. The work remains a fine example of late nineteenth-century British realism, focusing on the atmospheric conditions of a specific summer day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/rye-ivan-shishkin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRye by Ivan Shishkin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/blow-blow-thou-winter-wind-john-everett-millais\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBlow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind by John Everett Millais\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/collections\/sir-lawrence-alma-tadema\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSir Lawrence Alma-Tadema artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58621026271567,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58621095936335,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58621095969103,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58621096001871,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58621096034639,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58621096067407,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58621096100175,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58621096132943,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58621096165711,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58621096198479,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58621096231247,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58621096264015,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Ninety-Four-in-the-Shade_Poster_CompositorV1_1788183088459.jpg?v=1788183789"},{"product_id":"spring-sir-lawrence-alma-tadema","title":"Spring - Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed depiction of a Roman spring festival, showcasing the artist's mastery of light, texture, and classical architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSir Lawrence Alma-Tadema completed this large-scale oil painting in 1894. It depicts a Roman festival celebrating the arrival of spring, known as the Floralia. The scene captures a procession moving through the streets of ancient Rome, with participants adorned in floral garlands and carrying blossoms. The architecture is rendered with meticulous attention to marble textures, classical columns, and decorative details, reflecting the artist's archaeological interests and his desire for historical accuracy in his reconstructions of antiquity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is vertical, drawing the viewer's eye from the foreground figures up towards the balconies where spectators shower the procession with flowers. Alma-Tadema uses a light, airy palette to convey the seasonal theme, balancing the cool tones of the marble structures with the warmer, varied colours of the floral arrangements and the garments of the figures. The painting demonstrates the artist's technical precision, particularly in his handling of light reflecting off stone surfaces and the soft textures of the petals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlma-Tadema was a Dutch painter who settled in England, becoming one of the most successful artists of the Victorian era. His work often focused on scenes of daily life in ancient Greece and Rome, moving away from the grand military or political narratives common in academic art of the period. Instead, he preferred domestic or ceremonial subjects that allowed for the display of his skill in painting textures and light. This work is held in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum, where it remains a representative example of his late nineteenth-century output.

This portrait of Mrs George Lewis and her daughter Elizabeth demonstrates his ability to capture intimate domestic moments with technical precision.

The artist employs a soft, focused light to illuminate their faces, drawing attention to the expressions of affection shared between them. Alma-Tadema was a member of the Royal Academy and was known for his command of material surfaces, which is evident here in the rendering of the lace, the fabric of the dresses, and the background textile.

The artist employs a palette of earthy tones, punctuated by the stark contrast of the dark, rearing horses against the lighter, hazy background. The sense of motion is conveyed through the diagonal lines of the broken chariot and the sprawling posture of the figure, which draws the viewer into the centre of the narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike his later, more serene depictions of Roman domestic life, this work captures a moment of intense physical struggle.

This piece offers a glimpse into the artist's formative years, showing his ability to translate classical literature into visual form with academic rigour. The attention to detail, from the metallic sheen of the breastplate to the swirling dust clouds, reflects the meticulous approach that Alma-Tadema applied to his historical reconstructions throughout his career. It remains a compelling example of nineteenth-century narrative painting, grounded in the traditions of European classical education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-monk-and-the-beggar-fyodor-bronnikov\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Monk and the Beggar - Fyodor Bronnikov — Fyodor Bronnikov\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/portrait-of-a-lady-with-a-fan-franz-xaver-winterhalter\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of a Lady with a Fan - Franz Xaver Winterhalter — Franz Xaver Winterhalter\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58623580340559,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58623590596943,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58623590629711,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58623590662479,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58623590695247,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58623590728015,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58623590760783,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58623590793551,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58623590826319,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58623590859087,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58623590891855,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58623590924623,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Death-of-Hippolytus_Poster_CompositorV1_1788200875476.jpg?v=1788201195"},{"product_id":"a-kiss-sir-lawrence-alma-tadema","title":"A Kiss - Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema","description":"\u003cp\u003eA serene scene of domestic intimacy set against a classical marble terrace, painted with the technical precision characteristic of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, a Dutch painter who settled in England, achieved great success with his depictions of classical antiquity. In A Kiss, completed in 1891, he presents a scene set upon a marble terrace overlooking a calm, expansive body of water. The composition is defined by the contrast between the solid, cool-toned marble architecture and the soft, warm figures of the women and child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist demonstrates his technical precision in the rendering of textures: the smooth, veined surface of the stone, the delicate folds of the drapery, and the subtle play of light across the water. Alma-Tadema was known for his archaeological accuracy, often incorporating authentic Roman motifs into his work. Here, the figures are dressed in classical attire, yet the emotional tone remains intimate and domestic. A woman leans forward to kiss a young girl, while another figure stands nearby, observing the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background features a distant shoreline under a hazy sky, which adds a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective to the painting. The colour palette is dominated by soft blues, greys, and muted earth tones, which reflect the artist's interest in the effects of natural light. This work captures a quiet, private moment, removed from the grand narratives often associated with historical painting. It reflects the Victorian fascination with the aesthetic qualities of the ancient world, prioritising mood and visual harmony over dramatic action.

The scene captures a moment of ritualised display, with figures scattering flower petals before the ruler. Alma-Tadema employs a high degree of technical finish, characteristic of his later career.

The figures are rendered with a high degree of naturalism, typical of the artist's training within the European academic tradition. The focus remains on the tactile quality of the materials, from the silk ribbons to the organic structure of the narcissi. By isolating the figures in this manner, the artist invites the viewer to observe the interplay between the human form and the natural elements. This painting is representative of the late Victorian period, during which artists often turned to classical or allegorical subjects to explore themes of beauty and seasonal change.

Painted in 1868, the work demonstrates the artist's early technical precision before he became widely known for his later depictions of classical antiquity. The composition focuses on the intimate physical proximity of the two figures, with the woman leaning in towards the child, who holds an open book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighting is soft and directional, illuminating the child's face and the texture of the white garments. Alma-Tadema employs a restrained palette, allowing the dark tones of the book and the small bouquet of pansies to provide visual weight against the lighter background. The attention to detail in the jewellery, specifically the earrings worn by the woman, reflects the artist's interest in material culture and personal adornment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike his later, large-scale historical scenes, this piece functions as a private study of human connection. The brushwork is controlled and smooth, typical of the academic training he received in Antwerp. The child's expression is one of serious concentration, while the woman's posture suggests a protective, guiding presence. This painting offers a glimpse into the artist's ability to render psychological depth through subtle gestures and careful observation of light.

In this work, the artist focuses on a single female figure, rendered with the soft, luminous skin tones that defined his later career. The subject is shown in profile, her gaze fixed upon a small, ornate bronze statuette held in her hands. The composition relies on the interplay between the figure and the object, creating a quiet moment of contemplation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighting is characteristic of Alma-Tadema's approach, where a warm, golden glow permeates the scene. This effect is achieved through his precise application of oil paint, which allows for the subtle transition of light across the subject's face and the metallic surface of the statuette. The background, while partially obscured, suggests an interior space with architectural elements that hint at a Roman setting, a common trope in the artist's oeuvre.

The Women of Amphissa, completed in 1887, draws upon a narrative from Plutarch regarding the Third Sacred War.

The composition is set within a sun-drenched marble courtyard, a recurring architectural motif in his work. The scene is populated by numerous figures: the exhausted women of Amphissa are seen resting on the cool stone floor, while the women of Delphi attend to them with food and drink.

The background features a decorative screen, a common element in the artist's domestic interiors, which adds a layer of visual texture without distracting from the sitter.

This portrait provides a glimpse into the private lives of the Victorian artistic elite, documenting the personal connections that existed between painters and musicians of the period.

In this work, he presents a scene set within the architectural confines of the Coliseum.

In A Picture Gallery, he presents a scene set within a Roman interior, where figures in classical attire examine works of art. The composition is dense with archaeological detail, reflecting the artist's own extensive research into Roman architecture and domestic life.

The figures are not merely static subjects, but participants in a social ritual of art appreciation that mirrors the experience of the nineteenth-century viewer. The artist's technique is precise, with smooth brushwork that hides the mechanics of the painting process, allowing the viewer to focus on the material reality of the scene. This work is a representative example of his interest in the intersection of private life and public display within the Roman world, a theme that occupied much of his career.

The overall effect is one of quiet observation, where the stillness of the gallery space allows for a detailed examination of both the art on the walls and the people interacting with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-flirtation-eugene-de-blaas\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Flirtation - Eugene de Blaas — Eugene de Blaas\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-monk-and-the-beggar-fyodor-bronnikov\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Monk and the Beggar - Fyodor Bronnikov — Fyodor Bronnikov\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58736592683343,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58736765796687,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58736765829455,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58736765862223,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58736765894991,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58736765927759,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58736765960527,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58736765993295,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58736766026063,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58736766058831,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58736766091599,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58736766124367,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/A-Picture-Gallery_Poster_CompositorV1_1789039887038.jpg?v=1789041158"},{"product_id":"a-roman-emperor-sir-lawrence-alma-tadema","title":"A Roman Emperor - Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed historical painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema depicting the discovery of Claudius by the Praetorian Guard in 41 AD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, a Dutch painter who settled in England, is known for his meticulous recreations of classical antiquity. This work, completed in 1871, depicts the discovery of Claudius behind a curtain following the assassination of Caligula. The narrative moment captures the Praetorian Guard finding the future emperor, who cowers in fear, while the soldiers gesture in surprise and recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition relies on a clear division between the soldiers on the left and the kneeling figure of Claudius on the right. Alma-Tadema employs a precise technique to render the textures of the Roman military attire, from the metallic sheen of the helmets to the heavy folds of the drapery. The architectural setting, featuring marble steps and wall decorations, reflects the artist's interest in archaeological accuracy. His approach to light and shadow creates a sense of depth, drawing the viewer into the interior space of the palace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many of his contemporaries who focused on grand, heroic scenes, Alma-Tadema often chose moments of human vulnerability or domestic life within the Roman world. The painting demonstrates his ability to balance historical research with dramatic storytelling. The colour palette is restrained, dominated by earthy tones, muted reds, and cool greys, which allows the focus to remain on the interaction between the figures. The work is a prime example of the Victorian fascination with the classical past, presented with a level of detail that earned the artist significant acclaim during his lifetime.

At the time of this sitting, Paderewski was at the height of his international fame, celebrated for his technical virtuosity and his distinctive, voluminous red hair.

The lighting is soft, directed primarily at the face to draw attention to the subject's features and his intense, direct gaze.

The painting depicts the Roman poet Catullus's muse, Lesbia, in a moment of quiet mourning. She sits upon a bench, her gaze directed downward toward the small, lifeless sparrow resting upon her lap. The subject matter draws directly from the poetry of Catullus, specifically his verses concerning the death of his mistress's pet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlma-Tadema demonstrates his characteristic attention to archaeological detail. The setting is rendered with precision, from the Greek-key patterned wall decoration to the carved wooden bench. The artist employs a warm, earthy palette dominated by terracotta and ochre tones, which contrast with the dark, shadowed background. The figure of Lesbia is draped in heavy, voluminous fabric, the folds of which are painted with a focus on texture and weight. Her posture is relaxed yet melancholic, capturing a sense of stillness that defines much of the artist's output during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is structured around the horizontal line of the bench, which anchors the figure within the frame.

This use of light directs the viewer's attention to the central narrative of grief. The painting reflects the Victorian fascination with classical antiquity, a theme that occupied the artist throughout his career.

This portrait displays his characteristic focus on texture and light, though it departs from his typical architectural settings. The subject is captured in a moment of quiet contemplation, her gaze directed away from the viewer. She is draped in a pale, soft fabric that frames her face, creating a contrast with the warmer, textured background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of paint in the background suggests a more experimental approach than his highly finished historical scenes. The brushwork here is visible and loose, providing a tactile quality that complements the smooth rendering of the subject's skin. Alma-Tadema often used his family and close associates as models, and this work reflects the personal nature of his portraiture. The gold hoop earrings and the simple head covering suggest a timeless, perhaps Mediterranean, influence, which was a recurring theme in his body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the painting demonstrates his ability to manage light across different surfaces. The way the light catches the folds of the fabric and the subtle shadows on the woman's face reveal his training in the Dutch tradition of fine detail. While many of his works are grand in scale and subject, this portrait offers a more intimate view of his artistic practice.

His approach to light is controlled, focusing the viewer's attention on the gesture of the offering. The inclusion of the frieze in the background suggests a temple or domestic setting, typical of his interest in the daily rituals of antiquity. By focusing on a quiet, domestic moment rather than a grand historical event, the artist invites the viewer to observe the humanity within his classical scenes.

In My Studio, painted in 1893, offers a glimpse into the artist's personal workspace, which was famously decorated with an eclectic mix of historical and exotic objects. The painting features a woman, likely one of his daughters, leaning against a table draped in a heavy, ornate textile. She is captured in a moment of quiet contemplation, smelling a bouquet of roses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition demonstrates the artist's technical precision. Alma-Tadema was celebrated for his ability to render different textures, from the soft petals of the flowers to the heavy, embroidered fabric of the table covering. The background is dominated by a lattice screen, a common feature in his studio design, which filters the light and creates a sense of depth within the interior space.

The attention to detail in the drapery and the play of light across the surfaces are characteristic of his mature style. By focusing on a domestic moment, Alma-Tadema provides a view into the private world behind his public artistic output.

This work, Bacchante, captures a figure associated with the cult of Bacchus, the god of wine and revelry.

She holds a pair of cymbals, suggesting the musical accompaniment to these celebrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlma-Tadema was meticulous in his archaeological accuracy.

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, better known for his later depictions of classical antiquity, produced this early historical scene with a focus on the logistical struggle of the crossing.

Between Venus and Bacchus, painted in 1882, demonstrates his characteristic attention to archaeological detail and the textures of marble, fabric, and flora. The composition centres on a stone fountain, which serves as a physical and symbolic divide between the two deities referenced in the title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the right, a statue of Venus stands atop the fountain, her form rendered with the smooth, cool tones of white marble. Below, the base of the fountain features a carved figure of a satyr, a traditional attendant to Bacchus, providing a contrast between the divine grace of the goddess and the earthly, rustic nature of the wine god's retinue. The scene is set against a warm, ochre-coloured wall, which provides a neutral backdrop for the figures in the foreground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA young man and woman are positioned to the left of the fountain. The woman leans over the basin, her posture suggesting a moment of quiet contemplation or perhaps a pause during a ritual. She wears a simple, draped garment that reflects the artist's interest in historical costume. The man stands beside her, holding a thyrsus, a staff associated with Bacchus, which further links the human figures to the mythological themes of the work. Above them, the branches of a flowering tree reach across the top of the frame, adding a touch of natural colour to the architectural setting. Alma-Tadema's ability to balance these disparate elements—the cold stone of the sculpture, the warmth of the Mediterranean sun, and the human presence—is characteristic of his approach to historical genre painting. The work invites the viewer to observe a private moment within a public, sacred space, captured with the precision of a nineteenth-century realist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/neo-classical-vases-in-a-landscape-jean-charles-delafosse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNeo-classical Vases in a Landscape - Jean Charles Delafosse — Jean Charles Delafosse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/bookplate-of-edith-kermit-roosevelt-sidney-l-smith\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBookplate of Edith Kermit Roosevelt - Sidney L.

The composition features three women positioned on a high marble terrace, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. They appear to be watching for the arrival of a ship, a common narrative device in the artist's work to suggest anticipation or longing. The architectural elements, specifically the white marble balustrade and the sculptural base of a bronze statue, are rendered with precise attention to texture and light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlma-Tadema was known for his archaeological accuracy, often incorporating authentic Roman artefacts into his scenes. Here, the contrast between the cool, smooth marble and the soft, flowing drapery of the women's garments demonstrates his technical skill. The colour palette relies on the interplay between the pale stone, the deep blue of the sea, and the muted tones of the clothing. The figures are arranged to guide the viewer's eye across the terrace, creating a sense of height and distance.

The scene captures a procession of Bacchantes moving across a white marble terrace, their movements directed towards an altar dedicated to the god of wine.

His work is defined by a meticulous approach to the depiction of classical antiquity. In this composition, he captures a procession moving towards the Temple of Ceres. The scene is populated by figures dressed in period-appropriate attire, their movements suggesting a celebratory or ritualistic journey through a sun-dappled grove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlma-Tadema possessed a particular skill for rendering textures, from the soft folds of linen garments to the rough bark of the trees and the delicate petals of the wildflowers carpeting the ground. The light filters through the canopy, creating a sense of atmosphere that is both grounded and theatrical. His attention to archaeological detail, informed by his own extensive research into Roman life and architecture, provides a sense of historical authenticity to the scene. The figures in the foreground, one holding a tambourine aloft, are rendered with a focus on human form and gesture, while the background figures are integrated into the environment with a lighter touch, suggesting distance and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects the artist's interest in the daily lives of the ancients, moving away from the grand political narratives often favoured by his contemporaries. Instead, he presents a moment of quiet activity, inviting the viewer to observe the textures and light of a Mediterranean spring. The composition balances the immediate presence of the foreground figures with the receding depth of the grove, leading the eye towards the architectural elements in the distance.

While the artist is widely recognised for his large-scale depictions of classical antiquity, this work demonstrates his ability to handle intimate, domestic subjects with equal care. The painting focuses on the child, whose expression is rendered with a soft, naturalistic touch. The brushwork around the face is delicate, allowing for a subtle transition of light and shadow that gives the skin a lifelike quality. The child wears a white garment with a ruffled collar, which provides a stark contrast to the warm, dark, and atmospheric background. The background is composed of earthy, reddish-brown tones that direct the viewer's attention entirely to the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlma-Tadema was a Dutch painter who settled in Britain, becoming a member of the Royal Academy.

The inscription at the bottom left, which includes the date 1898, suggests this was a personal work, likely intended as a gift or a private commission for a friend. The composition is straightforward, avoiding unnecessary ornamentation to maintain the focus on the sitter. This piece offers a glimpse into the artist's private life and his capacity for capturing the innocence of childhood through a traditional, academic lens.

The placement of the discarded garment on the floor adds a sense of immediacy, suggesting that the viewer has happened upon a private encounter. The artist's ability to balance historical accuracy with emotional resonance is evident here, as he creates a scene that feels both distant in time and familiar in sentiment.

The composition is balanced, with the figure of Pandora occupying the foreground, allowing the viewer to observe the quiet intensity of the moment before the mythic catastrophe occurs. The use of light and colour creates a sense of calm, which belies the impending chaos associated with the contents of the box. This piece remains a representative example of the artist's technical skill and his preference for subjects drawn from antiquity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/neo-classical-vases-in-a-landscape-jean-charles-delafosse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNeo-classical Vases in a Landscape - Jean Charles Delafosse — Jean Charles Delafosse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/a-grecian-lovely-john-william-godward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Grecian Lovely - John William Godward — John William Godward\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lawrence Alma-Tadema","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888253735247,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888257077583,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888257110351,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Pandora_Poster_CompositorV1_1790368182573.jpg?v=1790368552"},{"product_id":"not-at-home-sir-lawrence-alma-tadema","title":"Not at Home - Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema","description":"\u003cp\u003eA domestic scene set in ancient Rome, depicting a woman concealing a visitor behind a curtain while another figure watches from a nearby table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, a Dutch painter who settled in Britain, produced Not at Home in 1898. This work displays his characteristic attention to archaeological detail and the domestic lives of ancient Roman citizens. The scene depicts a woman standing in a doorway, holding back a heavy curtain to conceal a man behind it. To the right, a second figure sits at a small table, observing the situation with a knowing expression. The composition relies on the tension between the hidden visitor and the composed, watchful figure in the foreground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlma-Tadema was celebrated for his ability to render textures, particularly marble, metal, and textiles. In this painting, the deep red of the woman's stola contrasts with the muted, earthy tones of the curtain and the surrounding stone architecture. The floor features a mosaic inscription, a common device in his work to ground the scene in a specific historical context. The lighting is controlled, focusing the viewer's attention on the interaction between the three figures. The painting avoids grand historical narratives, choosing instead to focus on a private, anecdotal moment. This approach was typical of his later career, where he moved away from larger compositions to smaller, more intimate domestic scenes. His technical precision ensures that every element, from the jewellery worn by the woman to the carved furniture, is rendered with clarity. The work remains a fine example of the Victorian fascination with the classical world, presented through a lens of contemporary social manners and domestic intrigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/a-difference-of-opinion-sir-lawrence-alma-tadema\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Difference of Opinion - Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema by Lawrence Alma-Tadema\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/its-sweet-doing-nothing-john-william-waterhouse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eIt's Sweet Doing Nothing by John William Waterhouse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/collections\/sir-lawrence-alma-tadema\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888264221007,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888271364431,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888271397199,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888271429967,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888271462735,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Not-at-Home_Poster_CompositorV1_1790368199418.jpg?v=1790368877"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/collections\/sir-lawrence-alma-tadema.oembed?page=2","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
