Samuel Palmer 1805-1881:Vision and Landscape by William Vaughan

Samuel Palmer began his career as an artist at an early age. In 1824, he met William Blake whose influence helped confirm his visionary approach to art. Palmer retreated into rural isolation in the village of Shoreham, Kent, his own 'Valley of Vision'. Here he produced his most distinctive work. His work influenced many 20th century artists.

The lonely light that Samuel Palmer engraved, An image of mysterious wisdom won by toll' (WB. Yeats, The Wild Swans at Coole)
