Who painted this oil painting and what's its name?

This painting is a comparison of Lawrence Amar Tedema, 1892, and the oil painting is 45.7 x 6 1 cm.

The following is his introduction:

Lawrence alma tadema (1836- 19 12) is a Dutchman. He has only been to Britain in his thirties. However, this great English-loving painter was not only one of the important founders of the Royal Academy of Art, but was also awarded a knighthood in 1899. His early artistic style was deeply influenced by the famous Egyptian archaeologist George Ebers, and Amar Tedema himself painted some ancient Egyptian landscapes, one of which was the famous Amusement of Ancient Egypt (1864). However, after visiting Pompeii, his painting theme completely turned to the depiction of secular life in ancient Greece and Rome. Ernest Gambart, an art dealer, encouraged him to focus on the classical paintings that were in great demand in the market, and was entrusted by him to deal with his paintings. In London, when Amar Tedema's first wife died, he married his second wife Laura Epps. Her reddish-brown curly hair, rosy cheeks, strong figure and daughter figure often appear in Amar Tedima's paintings. Marble is another feature of his painting, and he is also the most important painter of this material. Ruskin praised his paintings for their precise archaeological research. His paintings have no complicated themes or moral teachings; In this regard, it was criticized as "lack of spiritual level." Later, some people even said that it was a sign that "modern people wear ancient costumes" (poor model said her ankles were too thick). When Amal Tedema was alive, his works were very popular with the public, but after his death, his reputation declined rapidly. Ama Tedema's paintings include phidias and the Parthenon, which is famous for its colorful marble. The "photo gallery" includes the portrait of Gambert, the agent of his works; In the Sculptor's Model, the works of the naked goddess caused some controversy when they were exhibited. "The Rose of Helioga Balus", "For Bacchus" and "A Favorite Custom" are a series of paintings with the theme of Roman baths; And "Silver Favorites", some exquisite marble paintings showing the distant blue ocean. Amal Tedema can be said to be the prototype of a classical painter. At the height of his fame, he could even be compared with Leiden. After his death, Leiden, Millay and holman Hunt were buried in the cellar of St Paul's Cathedral. Amar Tedema has many followers and imitators, the most famous of which are john william waterhouse, John Collier and Elihu Vedder in the United States. They continue to develop classical themes in their own way. John William Godward devoted himself to the simple concept of a girl in classical dress standing on the stone steps in Dali. Other minor followers, such as Henry Ryland, are famous for watercolor illustrations; Others are arthur hill, Spencer and, to some extent, Herbert Schmahl. Because Amar Tedema has been popular for a long time, many galleries regard his paintings as the most representative works. Such as phidias and the Parthenon by Birmingham, Silver Favorite by Tate Museum, Tepidarium by Leif Art Museum, Art Lover by Glasgow, Unusual Opponent by Bristol, Reading Homer and Sappho by Philadelphia Art Museum; At the Walters Art Museum; There are other smaller works in ashmolean museum in Oxford.

Alma-Tadema (1836- 19 12) is a master of secular decoration among British royal academic painters. He promoted the wave of classicism set off by the pre-Raphaelites, first described dreamy classical secular themes with lyrical brushstrokes, and made this theme creation develop into the center of Victorian art. He was born in the Netherlands in 1873, and Alma Tedema obtained British citizenship.

Alma Dadema is not a member of the pre-Raphael school, but his paintings are close to the ideal of the pre-Raphael school. However, compared with the pre-Raphael painters, his techniques are more classical, and his themes are more grand, but less literary. Pre-Raphael art can be compared to fresh countryside, so Alma Dadema's works should be said to be magnificent epic (only in terms of momentum, not ideological content).

Alma Dadema's paintings are mostly set in ancient Greece and Egypt, depicting luxury and luxurious life. This is not in line with China's national conditions, nor with China's classical aesthetic morality. In his later years, when Victorian art was no longer popular, Alma Dadma's works were often criticized as shallow and lifeless. Critics believe that the characters in Alma Dadema's paintings have no feelings and wisdom, which wastes his skills and talents. But Victorian art is back in fashion today.
