In his Spring painting (1894), Lawrence Alma-Tadema represented the Victorian custom of sending children to collect flowers on May Day. By placing the scene in ancient Rome, he suggested the festival s great antiquity through architectural details, dress, sculpture and musical instruments based on Roman originals.
