MARCH 2006: The National Gallery of London is currently organizing an exhibition devoted to the English landscape painter Samuel Palmer. The exhibition, which will last until May 29th, is entitled “Vision and landscape” and represents an unique opportunity of admiring nearly one hundred works by this singular English artist.

ABOUT SAMUEL PALMER

Samuel Palmer (1805-1881) forms, along with painters such as John Martin (1798-1854) or Francis Damby (1793-1861), that fantastic second generation of English romantic artists that appears after the pivotal figures of Joseph Mallord William Turner and John Constable.

His mystical, almost fantastical vision of the nature -perhaps influenced by William Blake, artist who Palmer met in 1824- is shown in works such as his nightscapes or the ” A dream in the Apennine” , shown left.
