"Sleep" is a painting by Simeon Solomon (1840–1905), a British Pre-Raphaelite painter known for his depictions of Jewish life and same-sex desire. Solomon was an important artist of the Victorian era, whose work was celebrated for its beauty and emotional depth before his career was marred by scandal.

The painting "Sleep" is emblematic of Solomon's aesthetic, characterized by its dreamy atmosphere and the use of rich, evocative colors. It typically features a figure or figures in a state of rest or slumber, often surrounded by a lush, almost otherworldly landscape or intimate interior. The subject of sleep allowed Solomon to explore themes of vulnerability, the subconscious, and the boundary between the spiritual and physical realms.

Solomon's work on "Sleep" reflects the influence of his Pre-Raphaelite contemporaries, with an attention to detail and an emphasis on sensuality and naturalism. However, Solomon's unique treatment of light, shadow, and form, as well as his exploration of Jewish and homoerotic themes, set his work apart within the movement.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for what it reveals about the social and cultural context of the time. Solomon's later life was marked by public disgrace following his arrest for homosexual acts, which were criminalized in Victorian England. As a result, his work fell into obscurity for many years, and "Sleep" is among the pieces that have been re-evaluated in recent decades as part of a broader reassessment of Solomon's contribution to 19th-century art.

"Sleep" is held in high regard for its technical skill and its poignant reflection of Solomon's personal struggles and the broader societal issues of his time. It continues to be studied and appreciated as an important piece of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and for its place in the history of LGBTQ art.
