{"product_id":"gay-art-solomon-badehaus-gay-love","title":"Gay Art - Solomon's Bathhouse 19th Century. And we write GAY LOVE there","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere we show you a special picture. Particularly unusual. Particularly sexy... but let's start from the beginning. Our picture shows a transformation – an artistic trick, if you will. A painting in the style of the 19th century, and in the middle of it two men who clearly do not belong to that era. One wears briefs – and we write GAY LOVE on them. The other, with the open velvet blazer, shows his naked torso. Forehead to forehead, they stand by the pool of a Victorian bathhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimeon Solomon – one of the most important painters of Victorian England, arrested in 1873 for loving a man – painted precisely this backdrop. Marble columns, mosaic tiles, golden light through high arched windows. He also painted men who desired each other. But never openly – he painted sacred images with the faces of beautiful, delicate, desirable gay young men. Those who wanted to see it, saw it. The others saw pious art. Solomon smuggled gay desire into the churches of Victorian England – and no one noticed; gay connoisseurs, of course, excepted. What he had to hide, our two gays, whom we have transported to the 19th century, wear on their briefs. Gay Love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is history painting in oil. What art history omitted is now hanging on your wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Simeon Solomon (1840–1905)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimeon Solomon was one of the celebrated painters of Victorian England – until his arrest in 1873 for homosexual acts catapulted him out of the art world. Rossetti admired him, Wilde adored him. What remained: pictures full of hidden longing, saints with the faces of desirable young men. Today an icon of gay art history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 20x20 cm, 30x30 cm, 50x50 cm, and 60x60 cm.
