Symbolist art FTW.

I discovered Lawrence Alma-Tadema, a brilliant Symbolist painter, a while back in one of my art books, but never really took a look at his artwork till now.

(Why don't people paint like this anymore?)

His style really appeals to me - very Grecian - and he's got a marvelous eye for detail! Some of his paintings are a little darker, but I prefer his works to have a more light, floral touch like the one above.

(An example of his darker works.)

He's so on my list of favourite artists (which include Gustav Klimt, John Bauer and Alphonse Mucha) now! :D

(One of my favourites. ♥)
