Summer Offering 1911

"Summer Offering" is a painting by Lawrence Alma-Tadema, a British artist known for his depictions of ancient Roman and Greek life. Created in 1911, the artwork showcases three women adorned with flowers, their faces soft and delicate. The central figure holds a large bouquet of pink roses, while the women on either side hold bouquets of white flowers. Alma-Tadema’s signature style, evident in this painting, includes detailed rendering of classical architecture and the use of bright, pastel colors, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and beauty. This painting, now housed at the Brigham Young University Museum of Art, is a prime example of Alma-Tadema’s ability to capture the essence of classical culture.
