Black sheep of the artistic jewish Solomon family, Simeon was the younger brother of Abraham and Rebecca Solomon. He was influenced by Swinburne, and Solomon's pictures inspired poems in return.
Early Hebrew subjects gave way to classical and mythological pictures, and in 1869 Solomon visited Italy. However, in 1873 he was arrested in a public lavatory and fined for gross indecency. Although never in the press, the affair could not be hushed up, and Solomon became a pariah. Even Swinburne (now in the 'care' of Watts-Dunton) shunned him. Solomon took to drink and the drawings that he did to raise money -- although a shadow of his early work -- are collectable items today.
