 handprint : samuel palmer
Palmer's earliest major works from his Shoreham years, painted in solitude and in company with The Ancients, are among the most lyrical in modern art.
By the late 1850's, Palmer began to work back towards brilliant colors and his earlier heightened sense of poetry — partly under the influence of the bright colors used by Linnell, William Holman Hunt and others, and partly out of a desire to please the public and sell more paintings.
A critic noted in 1877 that Palmer was the only successor to J.M.W. Turner in attempting "the higher poetical landscape" rather than "literal transcripts from nature." The vivid colors carried through the wispy clouds and across the grassy knoll where two shepherds sit lend the scene a preternatural beauty.

 A Review of Two Works Related to Samuel Palmer
Furthermore, Palmer's comments would also seem to demand that the editor identify a specific painting, since the artist's mention that he received enjoyment from "the poetic heat and movement of feet upon the sands" suggests that Frost had painted another version of the subject chosen by Richard Dadd and R. Huskisson.
Nonetheless, despite generally scrupulous editing, The Letters of Samuel Palmer are somewhat disappointing, for although we learn a great deal about the artist's later development and his often trying relationship with Linnell, there are few new letters from the Shoreham years, the period of his greatest creativity.
The basic difficulty is that having asserted that individual elements in particular pictures function as signifying units (or bits of information), such as a felled tree, he fails to perceive that a linguistic structure requires a syntax, a system of relations, as well as individual words.

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.

 Samuel Palmer and 'The Ancients' - Cambridge University Press
$21.99 (C) It is many years since a major exhibition in England was devoted to the work of the whole of Samuel Palmer’s circle, ‘The Ancients’, a group of young men which included, among others, the painters George and Welby Sherman, all of whom were much influenced by William Blake.
Most recent exhibitions devoted to Palmer himself have stressed his early work of about 1835–35 - much of it done in the village of Shoreham in Kent - at the expense of his still interesting later work.
This fully annotated and illustrated catalogue considers all of these matters and in addition notes the strong literary influences on the work of Palmer, in particular that of the poems of John Milton.

In a letter dated May 17, 1829, Palmer writes of his "delight in the glory of the season" and adds: "Tho' living in the country I really did not think there were those splendours in visible creation which I have lately seen." This painting describes those splendors better than his words.
