Publisher's Synopsis
This book, which accompanied the first major retrospective of Samuel Palmer's work in nearly 80 years, unites 170 of Palmer's finest watercolours, drawings, etchings and oils from public and private collections in the UK, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and the United States. It highlights the artist's celebrated early work, executed in a visionary style inspired by William Blake, and re-examines Palmer's vibrant middle-period Italian studies and masterful late watercolours and etchings.
