Standing, Percy Cross. Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema. *$1.50. Cassell.
This biography has been written under the sanction and practical co-operation of Alma-Tadema himself, a fact which establishes his career in an authoritative light. The sketch of his life emphasises the very tendencies that step by step produced the artist. The forces from within and without and the intrinsic idealism into which they have resolved themselves make a unity well worth careful analysis and study. The illustrations aim to show the gradual development of the power of expression, several of which have not been reproduced before.
“He has not succeeded in conveying any real idea of the personality of Sir Lawrence, or of the characteristics of his style.”
– + Int. Studio. 26: 88. Mr. ’06. 80w.
“Is especially valuable as being the story which the artist himself would have the world know.”
