LOVE REVEALED Simeon Solomon And The Pre-Raphaelites

This publication marks the centenary of Simeon Solomon (1840-1905), a leading painter of the Pre-Raphaelite group that formed around Dante Gabriel Rossetti in the mid-nineteenth century. A precocious young talent, Solomon enjoyed early critical success with his paintings of biblical and classical subjects, but his public career was effectively destroyed when his homosexuality became public knowledge in 1873. Solomon is recognized today, however, as an important and influential figure in the Pre-Raphaelite circle. 7  chapters included: Solomons PreRaphaelite Identity, PreRaphaelitism and Early Success, Experiments in Beauty, The Dudley and Notoriety, Visions of Love, The Late Works and A Chronology Contributors: Roberto C. Ferrari, Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, Ben Uri Art Gallery. Out of Print. Condition: Very Fine/As New.
