“Other-Wordly Beauty”
English artist Samuel Palmer (1805-1881) was primarily a landscape painter and etcher. Early on, he showed a precocious talent and exhibited landscape drawings at the Royal Academy when he was only 14-years old. In 1826 he moved to Kent, where he was the central figure of a group of artists known as “the Ancients.” This is where he created his most famous works, landscapes charged with “a sense of pantheistic fecundity and other-worldly beauty.”
