Rosemary Barrow Biography

Rosemary Barrow is one of the most popular and richest Art Historian who was born on April 9, 1968 in Skewen, Wales, United Kingdom.

Rosemary Julia Barrow (9 April 1968 – 21 September 2016) was an art historian who specialised in classical themes in Victorian art and the painting of Lawrence Alma-Tadema in particular, whose reputation she attempted to restore.

Barrow first lectured at the University of Bristol, where she was a Faculty of Arts Junior Research Fellow, and at King’s College, London, where she was a lecturer in the School of Humanities, before becoming Reader in Classical Art and Reception at the University of Roehampton. She made her academic reputation with her insights into classical themes in Victorian art, beginning with her involvement in the exhibition of the work of the Dutch-born painter Lawrence Alma-Tadema at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The exhibition subsequently moved to the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and then to New York. Barrow drew her ideas together in her book simply titled Lawrence Alma- Tadema (2001) in which she sought to rehabilitate Alma-Tadema’s reputation which had been neglected for most of the twentieth century by arguing that he frequently used literary and archaeological allusions in his work to make subversive comments about apparently innocent subjects. This has come to be considered a definitive book on the subject.
