Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 28 × 12.5 in print therefore arrives as 30.3 × 14.9 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 90.6 × 40.6 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Alma-Tadema's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 178.4 × 80 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

In "Spring" (1894) by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, the viewer is treated to an exuberant celebration of the season, encapsulated in a grand procession set within the splendor of ancient Rome. Alma-Tadema, known for his meticulous attention to classical antiquity, presents a vivid tableau teeming with life and festivity.

The composition is vertical, drawing the eye upward from the crowded foreground to the distant background, where architecture and figures meld into a bustling scene. The painting's foreground is dominated by a throng of young women and children adorned with flowers, their garments flowing and diaphanous, symbolizing renewal and vitality. They carry garlands and baskets of blossoms, their expressions joyful, capturing the essence of spring.

The architectural elements, rendered with Alma-Tadema’s characteristic precision, frame the procession. The marble columns and intricate carvings contrast with the soft, organic forms of the flowers and the fluidity of the human figures. The background features multi-tiered balconies brimming with spectators, all keen to partake in the seasonal celebration. This layering of space creates depth and invites the viewer to explore every nook of the composition.

Color plays a crucial role; Alma-Tadema employs a palette rich in whites, creams, and pastels, punctuated by the vibrant reds, purples, and greens of the flora. The light is diffused, lending a gentle glow that unifies the scene and enhances the atmosphere of serene exuberance.

In "Spring," Alma-Tadema doesn't just depict a moment in time; he reconstructs an entire epoch, inviting us to revel in the beauty and joy of ancient Roman festivities. It's a masterful blend of historical accuracy and artistic license, executed with a warmth that is both inviting and awe-inspiring.
