Good choice of painting for the front cover of the book. Sometimes he was very uneven - high standard of art one month and rubbish the next. This is a great painting.
ReplyDeleteI actually wrote a chapter about his sister Rebecca, another artist, but the sibling I loved most was his older brother, Abraham.
Thank you. I have featured some of the othes on my other blog but Simeon fascinates me. Perhaps because of his tragic life. Oddly it made me think better of Burne-Jones who was one of the very few people who stood by him.
