Unfinished Tadema's
🕑 Added 2023-03-03 17:00:07 +0000 UTCImages like these have inspired me for a long time. I have always been fascinated by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema's random blocking in of flat shapes of color and rendering out other areas almost to completion. Included is a photo of Tadema at his easel, with an unfinished painting that recently went up for auction (painting is the following image)
I love imagining I could walk up and look at what was on his easel; these are not all the known unfinished paintings out there, but some of my favorites. Enjoy!

These are fascinating, thanks for sharing Michael!
Wow Michael, these are Gold!!! It's always so wonderful to get an insight into an artists process and Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema is definitely one of my favourite artists of all time.I was lucky to see his "Roses of Helioglobus" painting in Rome a few years ago and it was absolutely mind boggling. It has stayed in my mind , there are about 15 portraits in it and those roses are just incredible. Apparently he shipped them in fresh from the Meditteranean. I wish they had kept his studio as a Museum, it was just near Frederick Leighton's studio in Holland Park.
