Simeon Solomon was a British British Romanticism artist. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum. Simeon Solomon was born in City of London.

Simeon Solomon (9 October 1840 – 14 August 1905) was a British painter associated with the Pre-Raphaelites who was noted for his depictions of Jewish life and same-sex desire. His career was cut short as a result of public scandal following his arrests and convictions for attempted sodomy in 1873 and 1874.
