Biography:
After training at the Antwerp Academy of Art and working with Baron Hendryk Leys, Lawrence Alma-Tadema traveled to Italy where he was strongly influenced by the classical ruins. He settled in England in 1870 and devoted himself to painting large-scale narrative, historical paintings and was knighted in 1899. His later works were influenced by his trip to Egypt in 1902, and Alma-Tadema also developed an interest in ancient artifacts.
