New York : H.N. Abrams, 1990.
Description
The paintings of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema reveal much about 19th-century values. His languid women posed against white marble in dazzling sunlight, his forays into sentimentality, escapism and hedonism were adored by the Victorian public. He acquired fame, honour and wealth, only to have his pre-eminence undermined by the changing tastes of a subsequent generation.

Being a typically perfect Abrams production with Ash's always-insightful commentary. As always, a five star rating presupposes that one enjoys the artist.

I was wondering if I would ever find a book on Alma-Tadema. This large-format book has 60 illustrations, 40 in full color. The author wrote the first modern biography of Alma-Tadema (1836 - 1912) in 1973.
