Love revealed : Simeon Solomon and the Pre-Raphaelites

Description

Published to accompany the exhibition held at Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery, Oct. 1, 2005-Jan. 15 2006; Museum Villa Stuck, Munich, Mar. 9-June 18, 2006; Ben Uri Gallery, the London Jewish Museum of Art, Sept. 11-Nov. 26, 2006. || Includes bibliographical references (pages 186-188) and index. || 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. This book explores his work in the contexts of Pre-Raphaelitism, Judaism, and modern-day studies of masculinity.
