In the Tepidarium

In the Tepidarium

Artist: Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912)
Title: In the Tepidarium
Date: 1881
Technique: Oil on canvas

---

The tepidarium was the warm Roman bath. This painting shows a girl holding an ostrich feather and a strigel used for scraping the skin after soaping and oiling it. Alma-Tadema generally contrasted archaeologically accurate detail with aggressively modern figures and attitudes. He was also the most gifted exponent among Victorian painters in rendering exactly textures, surfaces and colours.
