Niobe

Niobe

Solomon J. Solomon

before 1896

The Studio (1896)

“In Niobe and Samson, which are earlier pictures, showing less full development of his convictions, there is less insistence upon the flesh surfaces, and more inclination to use them as mere parts of a pattern which is not primarily devised to accentuate their importance ; but even in these paintings nudity has an important function to fulfil, and gives to the compositions their definite character and technical meaning.” — A. L. Baldry
