Biography of Anna Alma-Tadema 1867-1943

Anna Alma-Tadema is in Painters.

1863. [her father] Lawrence Alma-Tadema (age 26). A portrait of the artist's daughters Laurense and Anna Alma-Tadema.

Life of Lawrence Alma-Tadema by Helen Zimmern. Four years after joining her son [[her father] Lawrence Alma-Tadema (age 28)], Madame Tadema died. It is sad to think that this good parent did not live to witness her son's world-wide fame, but pleasant to know that she still heard the praise aroused by some of his first exhibited pictures, and to see him the recipient of his first gold medal, that accorded to him at Amsterdam in 1862. In 1865 Tadema married a French lady, and removed to Brussels, where he remained until his wife's death. This occurred in 1869, when he was left alone with his sister and two little girls, the eldest, Laurence, who has developed into a gifted writer, and the second, Anna, the delicate, dainty artist who has inherited so much of her father's power for reproducing detail.

It was during the lifetime of his first wife that Alma Tadema paid his first visit to Italy and saw with his own eyes the homes of those Romans who were destined to become his most familiar friends.

Lawrence Alma-Tadema and [her mother] Marie-Pauline Gressin-Dumoulin were married at the City Hall in Antwerp.

Life of Lawrence Alma-Tadema by Helen Zimmern. An accident brought Tadema to London in 1870, and here he at once took root. A year later he remarried1, his wife this time being Miss [her step-mother] Laura Theresa Epps (age 19), a woman of rare beauty, and herself a painter of distinction.
