A Comparison Between Paintings
Xanth and Phaon
Tadema liked to re-use poses and themes constantly. See the similarities between these two paintings?He would just change backgrounds and props. However he also constantly re-used everything and if you do any research on Alma-Tadema you will notice this tendency.
Pleading
I prefer this one as it seems less formalised and much softer plus the colours and lighting are better.
