Portrait of the singer George Henschel playing Alma-Tadema's piano, Townshend House, 1879 (oil on panel), Alma-Tadema, Sir Lawrence (1836-1912) / Private Collection / Photo  Christie's Images / The Bridgeman Art Library Acclaimed Victorian artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836 - 1912) was born in Holland, lived in London and was known for highly detailed, idealistic scenes of ancient Greece and Rome. Alma-Tadema's 400 paintings were filled with striking figures, architectural precision and realistically textured marble, metals and silks. His popularity faded when the Victorian era ended, but his work made a comeback in the 20th century, influencing set design in blockbusters such as "Ben Hur" and "The Ten Commandments."
