A Memoir of Samuel Palmer

By A.H. Palmer, Frederic George Stephens, Samuel Palmer

Book Overview

A new title in the Lives of the Artists series, which offers personal, revealing accounts of prominent artists as viewed by their contemporaries--and themselves.

Samuel Palmer (1805-1881) was one of the leading British landscape painters of the nineteenth century. Inspired by his mentor, the artist and poet William Blake, Palmer brought a new spiritual intensity to his romantic depictions of nature. A Memoir of Samuel Palmer contains the first biography of the artist, written by his son A. H. Palmer; a critical appreciation of Palmer by the Pre-Raphaelite artist and critic F. G. Stephens, which provides a deeply personal look at the painter as well as insight into the reception of his art during the Victorian era; and an autobiographical letter by Palmer himself.
