Hello Mes Arties......I have been perusing my wonderful Alma-Tadema book, purchased pour moi by my super doopa brother Dominic Dallin-Parrish , whom I love dearly....For me this Pre-Raphaelite Alma-Tadema has to be my ooobbaaa favorite painter. .....Today, my choice is.. "In a Rose Garden" 1889. It depicts a cascade of rose petals, yet instead of a mad emperor suffocating his dinner guests, like in The Roses of Heliogabalus, tis of a pretty maiden who shakes the petals of a rose bush down onto her delighted companion....I never cease from amazement as to the life-like quality of this man's stupendous work. It always takes my breath away...His attention to detail is meticulous.
