The Simeon Solomon Research Archive is a repository of information about the nineteenth-century Anglo-Jewish artist Simeon Solomon (1840-1905). Its purpose is to encourage research into the work of Simeon Solomon, who until recently was still an obscure Victorian artist known only to those interested in Pre-Raphaelite studies. Over the past thirty years increased interest in the Pre-Raphaelites and Aesthetes, Jewish studies, and gender/gay/queer studies has generated a resurgence of information on Solomon and his work. The site also includes information about Solomon's artist siblings Abraham and Rebecca Solomon. Go to the links below to find out more.
​The site is now in its 23rd Year! (2000-2023) and is researched, edited and maintained by Dr. Carolyn Conroy and Dr. Roberto C. Ferrari. We have both spent many years studying Solomon's life and work. ​
