Samuel Palmer 1805-1881




Samuel Palmer is one of those artists that I keep meaning to have a look at, I do have a book that is mainly concerned with his drawings and sketches from 1824 and published by Thames Hudson.
What I learnt from Wikipeadia was that he seems to have become dissolusioned with rural scenes because of the discontent that was around in the 1830's .

Art is just a sampling of the real world anyway - going by the cover, his art seems like pure imagination and adventure - a bit before his time. Good to still see you blogging.
