Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema produced the oil painting A Picture Gallery in 1874 - Shortly after relocating to England and marrying his second wife Laura Epps: One of the more poignant reasons why he did; along with the fact that his classic style was popular among British collectors during the Victorian era. The oil on canvas wall art reproduction we supply is hand painted by skilled artists and accurately replicates the original: capturing the true nature of this oil painting in a way that print cannot.

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema was incredibly successful during his working life as an artist. His oil paintings are distinctive, elaborate and invariably based upon life in ancient Rome: As is this art work A Picture Gallery. The original oil painting was commissioned by the much celebrated Italian art dealer Gambert whom Alma-Tadema had met many years before – Indeed it was Gambert who first recognized the true potential of the artist and who is featured centrally in this composition. In the background we can see many classical oil paintings one of which is Medea – A painting created by the Roman artist Timomachus for Julius Ceasar.

Today the original oil painting is owned by Burnley Borough Council and is housed at the beautiful Towneley Hall Museum in the UK: A truly classic and incredible beautiful painting.
