Painting Description
"Solomon Eagle, 1843" is a painting by the British artist Paul Falconer Poole (1807–1879), which depicts the historical figure Solomon Eagle, a prophetic figure and Quaker who is said to have roamed the streets of London during the Great Plague of 1665. The painting portrays Eagle as a naked figure, save for a loincloth, with a pan of burning coals on his head, as he warns the citizens of the impending doom brought about by the plague. This image is inspired by accounts of Eagle's eccentric and apocalyptic warnings, which are part of the folklore surrounding the Great Plague.
Paul Falconer Poole was a notable painter of the Victorian era, known for his historical and literary subjects. His work "Solomon Eagle" is an example of the 19th-century fascination with dramatic historical scenes and the Romantic interest in individual experience and expression. The painting is characterized by its dark, moody atmosphere and the intense expression of its central figure, capturing the fear and despair of the plague years.
The painting was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1843 and is considered one of Poole's significant works. It reflects the Victorian era's engagement with themes of mortality and divine judgment, as well as the period's taste for theatricality in the visual arts. "Solomon Eagle, 1843" is an important piece within Poole's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the historical genre in 19th-century British painting.
