Under the Roof of Blue Ionian Weather, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema
Summary
Under the Roof of Blue Ionian Weather, painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, 1898-1901
Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836– 1912) is one of the most highly renowned romantic artists of late 19th century Britain. He was born in the Netherlands as Laurens Tadema, to the family of the town notary. Later, as he tried to make his niche in the art world, he changed the spelling of his first name to the more English “Lawrence,” and included his middle name “Alma” as part of his surname, so he would be listed among the “A’s” in exhibition catalogs.
