Egyptian Chess Players 1865' Framed Oil Painting Print on Canvas

This image of Egyptian chess players captured the eye of the most influential print publisher and art dealer of the era and catapulted this Dutch-born British artist into the public eye as a significant classical-subject European artist. Remarkable for its fine execution and brilliant colors, this fine work makes a game of chess in a far-off land simultaneously exotic and familiar, and as timeless as if it were taking place in our very own homes. Alma-Tadema became famous for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire and was eventually knighted for his accomplishments. The authentic stretched canvas replica captures the original painting's texture, depth of color, and even its brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. It is surrounded by an imported, antique gold-toned, delicately sculpted 4" wide designer resin frame with a leaf motif. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
