Samuel Palmer (1805-1881) was one of the leading British landscape
painters of the 19th century. Inspired by his mentor, the artist
and poet William Blake, Palmer brought a new spiritual intensity to
his interpretation of nature, producing works of unprecedented
boldness and fervency. Pre-eminent scholar William Vaughan-who
organized the Palmer retrospective at the British Museum and The
Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2005-draws on unpublished diaries and
letters, offering a fresh interpretation of one of the most
attractive and sympathetic, yet idiosyncratic, figures of the 19th
century. Far from being a recluse, as he is often presented, Palmer
was actively engaged in Victorian cultural life and sought to exert
a moral power through his artwork. Beautifully illustrated with
Palmer's visionary and enchanted landscapes, the book contains rich
studies of his work, influences, and resources. Vaughan also shows
how later, enthralled by the Pre-Raphaelite movement, Palmer
manipulated his own artistic image to harmonize with it. Little
appreciated in his lifetime, Palmer is now hailed as a precursor of
modernism in the 20th century. Published for the Paul Mellon Centre
for Studies in British Art
