Lawrence Alma-Tadema was born in the Netherlands but spent most of his adult life in England, becoming a member of the Royal Academy and later gaining a knighthood.

Gustav Klimt began his life as a successful painter of murals and as a designer of pageants in the age of Emperor Franz Joseph in Austria.

This ideal is enshrined in many of his finest works, giving an insight into his productive, if turbulent, life.

Salvador Dali, best known as the master of Surrealism, was one of the twentieth century's most famous artists, a painter whose remarkably potent work is recognized the world over.

Here is the story of the man and the artist, presented along with his most vivid and sometimes disturbing works, represented by 100 full-color reproductions.
