Format:Hardcover
_Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema_ is very well-organized, and Russell Ash provides informative insight into Alma-Tadema's life and the substance of his paintings. Each plate is accompanied by an informative vignette which further enhances the effect of each beautiful piece. The sample of art as a whole is well-chosen and certainly representative of Alma-Tadema's body of work, but one would like to see more paintings included. Altogether, a wonderful value.

Format:Paperback
Russell Ash manages to combine an interesting summary of the artist's life and a selection of some of Alma-Tadema's beautiful pictures, concentrating especially on the roman bath paintings. The reproductions are full of light and colour.A larger array of pictures would have been even better, but all in all a good starting point to further reading on Alma-Tadema.

Format:Hardcover
Alma Tadema is not nearly as well-regarded as others who painted in the same era, but there is something about his work that is compelling. This book is nicely done and a real value.
