vvaugh:Photo of Simeon Solomon (1840–1905), Jewish painter and member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Solomon’s paintings often explored scenes from the Tanakh or of domestic Jewish life. He was arrested and imprisoned in the 1870s for being gay which destroyed his career, however it also brought him to the attention of famed poet Oscar Wilde who collected his works and referenced him in his final work, De Profundis. -- source link
