In his Spring painting (1894), Lawrence Alma-Tadema represented the Victorian custom of children collecting flowers on May Day. By placing the scene in ancient Rome, he suggested the festival’s history through architecture, dress, sculpture and instruments. Alma-Tadema incorporated his knowledge of antiquity into over 300 paintings.

We are honoured to feature a detail from Spring as part of our collaborative The J. Paul Getty Museum Collection.
