About this Artwork

The Awakening by Solomon Joseph Solomon arrests the eye before reason arrives — a winged figure hauled back from wherever sleep sends its charges, his amber-ochre chest broad against a bituminous ground that offers no horizon, no floor, no exit. Solomon, a founding member of the New English Art Club who trained under Cabanel in Paris, paints the laurel-crowned head tipped skyward with the cool authority of academic figure painting fused to Pre-Raphaelite yearning.

This is the Aesthetic Movement's 1890s understanding of consciousness as threshold: one leg crossed, arms folded inward, the male body made allegorical without losing a gram of its physical weight. Oil craquelure webs the torso, making agedness part of the image. The blue-slate impasto wing unfurls on one side, grey-white feathers dragged in loaded strokes; the other catches gold-flecked charcoal in its curve. A Victorian allegory of the soul's return to waking life, lit from within its own gold laurel wreath.

Origin Story

Solomon Joseph Solomon RA RBA (1860–1927) was a London-born British painter whose ambitions ran from Olympus to the Western Front. Trained at Heatherley's, the Royal Academy Schools, Munich, and Paris under Alexandre Cabanel, he traveled Italy, Spain, and North Africa before settling in London's Holland Park circle. Influenced by Frederic Leighton and Lawrence Alma-Tadema, he painted theatrical mythological and biblical canvases alongside a lucrative portrait practice, his brush reaching King George V and Queen Mary.

One of the few Jewish painters elected to the Royal Academy, Solomon co-founded the New English Art Club in 1886. His masterworks — Ajax and Cassandra, Samson, Psyche — pulse with Academic grandeur. During the First World War he served as a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Royal Engineers, pioneering camouflage techniques for tanks and publishing Strategic Camouflage in 1920. Painter, illustrator, tactician: Solomon remains a singular figure in British art.
