Early life
British landscape painter, etcher, and printmaker Samuel Palmer was born on this day in 1805.
Palmer was a key figure in Romanticism in Britain. He was introduced to William Blake at the age of 19, and it is thought that he was one of Palmer's most significant influences in his work.
Palmer produced many visionary pastoral paintings over the course of his career. Here is a self-portrait of Palmer that was painted when he was only nineteen years old, as well as three of his landscape works from our collection.
