Wikipedia
Long was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1870 and an academician ( RA ) in 1881.
His pictures always attracted attention and his ' Diana or Christ?
' ( 1881 ) greatly enhanced his reputation at the time.
His pictures suited the taste and appealed to the religious sentiment of a large portion of the public, and their popularity was increased by a wide circulation of engravings.
He consequently determined to exhibit his next pictures in a separate gallery of his own in Bond Street, London and there in 1883, and the following years, his ' Anno Domini ' and ' Zeuxis at Crotona ' met with great commercial success.
