Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema was a Dutch painter of special British denizenship. Born in Dronrijp, the Netherlands, and trained at the Royal Academy of Antwerp, Belgium, he settled in England in 1870 and spent the rest of his life there.
A classical-subject painter, he became famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire, with languorous figures set in fabulous marbled interiors or against a backdrop of dazzling blue Mediterranean Sea and sky. Though admired during his lifetime for his draftsmanship and depictions of Classical antiquity, his work fell into disrepute after his death, and only since the 1960s has it been re-evaluated for its importance within nineteenth-century British art.

About Lawrence AlmaTadema – Spring (1894)
"Spring (1894)" by Lawrence Alma Tadema who was famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire, Spring was completed by Tadema in 1894 (some sources say 1895) after 4 years of intermittent work and is 70 1/4 x 31 1/2 inches in size. Not a large painting when you consider all of the detail in the piece. In Victorian England, it was becoming the fashion to send kids out into the country to gather flowers on May 1st. This painting echos that contemporary scene.
