Women of Amphissa

The Women of Amphissa is a painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema made in 1887 and currently preserved at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown. It is an oil on canvas of 121 cm by 182 cm staging the thyiads when they wake up in a very lascivious attitude. Alma-Tadema received at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889 a medal for this painting which reveals the virtuosity of a painter perfectly embodying the Victorian style of the end of the 19th century.
