One of the most highly regarded studios of the time in Belgium at the time was that of Jan August Hendrik Leys, and Alma-Tadema's next post was here. This attention to detail in producing ancient scenes went on to become one of the traits of his work. De Taeyes was also a strong proponent of historical accuracy and Alma-Tadema was encouraged to depict this in his own works. De Taeye was fascinated by historical costumes and history and these caught the imagination of Alma-Tadema. Alma-Tadema went on to be a studio assistant to Louis Jan de Taeye between 1855-1858.

To this end he learnt under Egide Charles Gustave Wappers at the Royal Academy of Antwerp (his family was at that time settled in Belgium) where he studied Flemish and Dutch art. As a result he was allowed to choose his own path and instead decided to become an artist. Although he was originally expected to enter law professionally, Alma-Tadema suffered a physical and mental breakdown aged 15. From early on in his career Alma-Tadema showed promise, receiving accolades and prizes for his work even during his studies.
