Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (January 8, 1836--June 25, 1912) was a Dutch-born artist. He exposed inside Antwerp. He moved to England in 1869 and made the title for himself by having paintings of semi-nudes placed against authoritative backcloth from either ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. One of his best known paintings was The Roses of Heliogabalus (1888), based on an episode from either a life of the infamously degenerate Roman Emperor Heliogabalus. His naturalistic depiction of marble led him to exist as known as a 'marbelous painter'. An ''Audience at Agrippa's shows the emperor approaching to receive gifts from his clients. Whilst an admirer of a painting offered to pay the material total for the painting by using the similar theme Alma-Tadema just turned the emperor as much as to show him going away within After the Audience''. Around 1870 he married an English woman and moved to London.
