Samuel Palmer

Samuel Palmer (1805-81) is one of the best loved, but least understood, figures in British art. A romantic at heart, he lived on through most of the Victorian age, increasingly at odds with the world around him, yet sustained by the belief and the abiding values of beauty, of poetry and of landscape. This book is the first to critically examine Palmer's career, and to present his work within the artistic and cultural context of his times.
