OIL PAINTING: Between Venus and Bacchus, 1882
This painting of Alma- Tadema - Between Venus and Bacchus, 1882, as well as all his paintings, are remarkable for the way in which flowers, textures and hard reflecting substances, like metals, pottery, and especially marble, are painted. Alma Tadema paintings shows much of the fine execution and brilliant colour of the old Dutch masters. By the human interest with which he imbues all his scenes from ancient life he brings them within the scope of modern feeling, and charms us with gentle sentiment and playful humour.
