Laurel wreaths in their hair – as if they brought antiquity with them, that time when male love needed no justification. And they kiss. Two hands draw the other closer by the hips. The cloth slips. How enticingly beautiful, plump buttocks glisten. The door to lust seems open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarble columns, golden light – no dark room, no hiding place. A temple. Simeon Solomon painted rooms like these – the most significant gay artist of Victorian England, who clothed male love in saints and angelic youths, because he could not openly show it. We paint in his style and according to his genius – and show what he could never show. Victorian England arrested him in 1873 because he loved a man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolomon was no marginal figure. Rossetti admired him, Wilde adored him, the Royal Academy exhibited his work. Then his friends fell silent. The art world turned away. He died in a London workhouse in 1905 – alone, forgotten, impoverished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur picture gives back what was taken from him. When it hangs in your home, it shows what has always been true: that this desire is beautiful. That it always has been.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Simeon Solomon (1840–1905)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimeon Solomon was one of the most gifted painters of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. His works show a world of gold, myrrh, and longing – saints, angels, youths in intimate proximity. Rossetti admired him, Oscar Wilde adored him. In 1873, he was arrested for loving a man. The art world turned away. He died in a London workhouse in 1905. Today, he is considered an icon of gay art history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kunstwerk-bilder.shop\/blogs\/news\/simeon-solomon-genie-geaechteter-wiederentdeckter\"\u003eMore about Simeon Solomon – his life, his fall, his rediscovery →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 20x20 cm, 30x30 cm, 50x50 cm, and 60x60 cm.
