Samuel PalmerSamuel Palmer (January 27, 1805 - May 24, 1881) was an English landscape painter and printmaker. Born in London, Palmer painted from an early age, first exhibiting Turner-inspired works at the Royal Academy at the age of fourteen. Through John Linnell, he met William Blake in 1824. Blake's influence can been seen in the works he produced over the next ten years or so, which are generally reckoned to be his greatest. These landscapes were produced in Shoreham in Kent, where Palmer lived from 1826 to 1835. There Palmer associated with the group of Blake-influenced artists known as "The Ancients" (including George Richmond and Edward Calvert). After returning to London in 1835, Palmer's work became less mystical and more conventional. He was largely forgotten until being rediscovered in the 20th century.
