Alma-Tadema created many small scale paintings. The reproduction is larger than the original which only goes to increase the visual impact of this beautiful piece of canvas wall art: Indeed, making it much easier to take in the scene ‘all at once’.

From 1870 Alma-Tadema lived in England until his death in 1912. He was a perfectionist and this is entirely evident in his work – Well prized by English collectors. The blue sea and sky of the Mediterranean and marble structures of this oil painting are entirely characteristic of his art works: As well as the beautiful women which always play on the viewer’s sentiments. Indeed a stunning work of art that would bestow grace upon any environment.
