Alma-Tadema at Fries Museum, the Netherlands, and in Vienna, and London

If you have enjoyed Lawrence Alma-Tadema‘s paintings, you will be delighted to know that there is currently an exhibition of them touring in Europe. It started on 1 October 2016 in the Fries Museum in the Netherlands, and is a wonderful excuse to go and enjoy some real Dutch hospitality, and some superb art.

Alma-Tadema: Classical Charm is an extensive survey of Lawrence Alma-Tadema’s paintings, and a unique opportunity to see so many together. It is open now at Fries Museum, Leeuwarden, The Netherlands, until 7 February 2017. It then moves to the Belvedere in Vienna, Austria, where it runs from 23 February to 18 June 2017. It finally moves to Leighton House Museum in London (Frederick, Lord Leighton’s house and collection), where it runs from 7 July to 29 October 2017.

I have added these details to my two articles about the artist.

Many thanks to @MaryLouFischer for kindly drawing my attention to this.
