Biography
Rebecca Solomon (1832-1886):Rebecca Solomon came from a distinguished London Jewish family of artists.Her brother Abrahan Solomon was an award winning artist from the Royal Academy, and another younger brother Simeon was a member of the Pre-Raphaelites. Simeon's paintings were greatly admired by Burne-Jones and Pater.Rebecca was taught by Abraham and successfully exhibited her paintings between 1852-1869. Tragedy, however, beset all the Solomons. Abraham died young, Simeon's alcoholism as well as the criminal charges that were brought against resulted in his ending his days in a workhouse.Rebecca's alcoholicism became a public scandal and would die insane.
