Talk:Lawrence Alma-Tadema

message: Was he knighted on the occasion of the Queen's 81st birthday, or was he knighted in 1899?  It can't be both, as Queen Victoria's 81st birthday was in 1900.  Binabik80 13:57, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The Roses of Heliogalbus includes a portrait of the artist's wife... but the man reclining behind her, seen only in profile, has reddish blond hair and a bushy beard, which was not the fashion in Rome. Could this be another self portrait of the artist? Thank you, Shir-El too (talk) 02:48, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Series 39, No 5 of BBC's Antiques Roadshow, from Arley Hall (1), broadcast on 25 September 2016 featured a portrait by Alma-Tadema of his engraver, Leopold Löwenstam. which was valued, by Rupert Maas, at between £200,000 and £300,000. Maas said it "might be one the best pictures we have ever seen on The Roadshow in its entire history." There's an article in The Daily Telegraph here.

message: I was wondering whether any of the editors for this page would be interested in a dispute about which face in AT's The Roses of Heliogabalus was intended by AT to represent Heliogabalus, a Roman emperor whose face is visible in the busts on the right of the image below. I've been told that the youth on the bottom left "looks nothing like" the bust, but I don't agree. MagistraMundi (talk) 10:09, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not "a youth", it's a young woman. That's just my opinion, of course. If you have reliable sources, to support your view, I'm sure we'd all like to see them. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:27, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Who's Who in ''The Roses of Heliogabalus''

message: So far no mention is made of Tademas studio methods when he got established here in the UK. I can add something here. My grandfather, Arthur Paul Drummond was one of Tadema’s ‘studio boys’ these were apprentices taken on by Tadema to grind colours, arrange flowers, and be general gofers. Some of them also becoming first class painters in their own right. Authur Paul was about 15 years old when taken on by Tadema. My grandfather quickly became a competent favourite and in the end was even trusted to do much of the marble work in Tadema’s compositions. He also became outstandingly good at painting roses leading Tadema’s to explain: ”Mr Drummond your roses are roses too much” as Arthur Paul progressed he became a better painter than his master in the sense that his people were more natural and not so uptight or rigid in their expressions. Arthur Paul Drummond also made money painting in the Victorian genre.
