"The Women of Amphissa" is a painting by the Dutch-born British artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, completed in 1887. The work is a historical genre painting, which exemplifies Alma-Tadema's fascination with the classical world and his meticulous attention to detail in depicting ancient settings. The painting is based on an event recounted by Plutarch in his "Moralia," where the women of the Greek city of Amphissa protected the sacred, but inebriated, female participants of the Thyiades after they had wandered into the town following their nocturnal rites dedicated to the god Dionysus.

In the painting, Alma-Tadema captures the morning after the Dionysian festival. The Thyiades are seen asleep, scattered across the foreground, while the women of Amphissa, portrayed with an air of compassion and dignity, are gathered around them. The scene is set in a sunlit market square, which reflects Alma-Tadema's signature style of bright light and the use of marble textures. The architecture and clothing in the painting are rendered with historical accuracy, reflecting the artist's extensive research and his commitment to bringing the ancient world to life on canvas.

"The Women of Amphissa" is noted for its portrayal of female solidarity and the protective gesture of the Amphissian women, which was interpreted as a reflection of contemporary Victorian values of charity and sisterhood. The painting also showcases Alma-Tadema's skill in the use of color and composition, guiding the viewer's eye through the canvas and allowing them to discover the narrative gradually.

This work is part of Alma-Tadema's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the popularization of neoclassical subjects in Victorian art. "The Women of Amphissa" has been exhibited in various galleries and has received critical attention for its artistic and cultural significance. It remains an important example of Alma-Tadema's contribution to the genre of classical subject paintings and continues to be studied for its historical references and artistic merit.
