What happened to Alma-Tadema's reputation after his death?
Remained stable
Rose sharply
Fell out of fashion
Became controversial
Answer
After his death, Alma-Tadema's reputation declined as his style fell out of fashion. His detailed, classical paintings were no longer in vogue, and his work was seen as overly sentimental and lacking in originality. It was not until the late 20th century that there was a renewed interest in his work, and he is now considered one of the most important painters of the Victorian era.
