"Unconscious Rivals," Lawrence Alma-Tadema, 1893.

I've featured Alma-Tadema before, so I won't go into his biography much. What we have here is another example of his taste for classicism. He went to museums and would study Greek and Roman art so he could reproduce it as accurately as he could.

He was a friend of the Pre-Raphaelites, but not quite a member of the school. They did influence his work, encouraging him to use brighter colors and more light.

I find his work hard to make up my mind about. Sometimes I'm impressed with his attention to detail and use of color....and sometimes his work seems to have an almost prepackaged, mass-produced air to it, like something you'd see on the wall at a doctor's office. Or maybe it's just me.

The Secret Salon

The late 19th century was marked by Historicism, Academicism, and the rise of Symbolism. While traditional art dominated, LGBT artists found freedom in secret salons to explore their sexuality and art. These gatherings offered intimacy and sensuality, inspiring art and paving the way for modernism.
