"Night I" is a notable work by British artist Simeon Solomon (9 October 1840 – 14 August 1905), recognized for his profound depictions of religious, mythological, and aesthetic themes. Solomon completed the artwork in 1890, during his later career when his focus shifted largely toward symbolist subjects influenced by his Jewish heritage and vast literary readings.

"Night I" exemplifies this phase in Solomon's artistic journey, visualizing intricate symbolism and meditations on twilight, solitude, and spirituality. The painting encapsulates a stark nocturnal scene, offering a contemplative exploration of the transition between day and night.

In this piece, Solomon employs a subdued palette mostly dominated by shades of midnight blue and shadowy blacks. Central in the painting is a solitary figure adding a sense of mystery, embodying a thoughtful character associable with the solitude and introspection of night.

Despite his controversial personal life and subsequent ostracization, the significance of Simeon Solomon's legacy, inclusive of works like "Night I," is irrefutable. Many modern scholars, critics, and curators place high value on his contributions to Victorian art movements and queer art history. Regrettably, due to the socio-cultural taboos of his time, Solomon's works received the broader recognition they deserved only posthumously.

While "Night I" doesn’t occupy the same standing as Solomon's more acclaimed pieces, it is nonetheless a unique showcase of his maturity as an artist – amalgamating his skills in composition, symbolism, and light & shadow effects, steeped in the poignant narratives he excelled in narrating. As a gem from his latter oeuvre, the painting offers valuable insight into the evolution of his artwork and the complexities of his late career.
