Lawrence Alma-Tadema was the highest paid artist of his day by painting meticulously detailed scenes of ancient Greece and Rome. In Sappho and Alcaeus from 1881, Alma-Tadema depicts the poet Alcaeus playing music for fellow poet Sappho and her companions, though he sets the scene in an adaption of the Theater of Dionysus, Athens, before having ever visited the location.  Many of the elements are historically accurate including the woman's dress, the musical kithara, text on each seat and sculptural handrails completing the historic fantasy.
