Lawrence Alma-Tadema Art Gallery Painting: The Colosseum-1896

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema 1836-1912 Nederland, Engeland

Travelers to the Netherlands might consider a stop in the town of Leeuwarden in the northern part of the country, just several hours by car or train from Amsterdam, for a major retrospective of Dutch-born artist Lawrence Alma-Tadema. The exhibition “Alma-Tadema: Classical Charm” will present about 200 works, including 90 paintings and dozens of drawings, prints, and objects from the artist’s studio in what organizers say is the largest display of the painter’s work to date. The show is on view through February 7, 2017 at the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden, where Alma-Tadema lived as a boy.
