Their hands find their way – to the face, to the hip – wherever touch means closeness and closeness says everything. This kiss is not a greeting. It is a promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarble columns, laurel wreaths – the same temple as always, that world where male love had dignity and needed no apology. Simeon Solomon painted rooms like these – the most significant gay artist of Victorian England, who clothed his truth in saints and youths because he could not openly show it. We paint in his style and after his genius – and show what he could never show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolomon was not a marginal figure. Rossetti valued him, Wilde admired him, the Royal Academy showed his work. After his arrest in 1873 for homosexuality, his friends fell silent – not out of indifference, but out of fear. To associate with a convicted man in Victorian England risked one's own reputation, freedom, and life. The art world turned away. Solomon died in 1905 in a London workhouse – alone and forgotten.\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 talented painters of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. His works depict a world of gold, myrrh, and longing – saints, angels, youths in intimate proximity. Rossetti valued him, Oscar Wilde admired him. In 1873, he was arrested for loving a man. The art world turned away. He died in 1905 in a London workhouse. Today he is considered an icon of queer 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.
