Lawrence Alma-Tadema
Spring
1894
Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema's 'Spring' (1894) imagines a Roman festival of Floralia: young women in white togas descend a marble staircase strewn with petals, rendered with Alma-Tadema's trademark near-photographic detail and limpid Mediterranean light. A defining example of Victorian antiquarian painting, it is one of the signature works of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
