Spring MIDI Unlined Hardcover Journal, 144pg, 120gsm, the J. Paul Getty Museum Collection by Paperblanks (Lawrence Alma-Tadema)

In his Spring painting (1894), Lawrence Alma-Tadema represented the Victorian custom of sending children to collect flowers on the morning of May 1, or May Day. By placing the scene in ancient Rome, he suggested the festival's great antiquity through architectural details, dress, sculpture and musical instruments based on Roman originals. Alma-Tadema's curiosity about the ancient world was insatiable, and he incorporated his knowledge into over 300 paintings of ancient archaeological and architectural design. We are honoured to feature a detail from Spring as part of our collaborative The J. Paul Getty Museum Collection.
