Between hope and fear. Canvas of Alma-Tadema.

The painting "Between hope and fear" by Alma-Tadema   Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema born in Netherlands in 1836 and died in 1912. Sir Alma-Tadema was a Dutch Neoclassical painter of the Victorian era formed in Belgium and established in England since 1870. He is known for its sumptuous paintings inspired in the ancient world. A painter of classical subject, he became famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire, with languorous figures set in marbled interiors or against a backdrop of dazzling blue Mediterranean Sea and sky. Though admired during his lifetime for his citizenship and his depictions of Classical antiquity, his work fell into disrepute after his death, and only since the 1960s it has been re-evaluated for its importance within nineteenth-century English art.   Here you can get the canvases of Alma-Tadema.
