Alma-Tadema, Laurence [Sir] (1836—1912)

Sir Laurence was an English painter who studied in Belgium, where he lived until 1869. Upon going to England and becoming a citizen, he became well known for his paintings of life in ancient Greece and Rome. According to the Hon. John Collier, his intimate, Alma-Tadema had no religious beliefs whatsoever. Joseph McCabe confirms that Alma-Tadema’s closest friends said he was an agnostic.
