Samuel Palmer (1805 - 1881) Child prodigy, Samuel Palmer, first exhibited his paintings in 1819 at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. He began studying under John Linnell at the age of 17, who introduced him to the work of William Blake. Palmer relationship with the poet and artist shaped the mystical themes of his work thereafter. In 1824, he painted pastoral scenes in Shoreham, Kent with only ink and a sepia wash. He settled there two years later and headed the group the Ancients. His work gradually lost its poetic influence and took on the common appeal of traditional British landscapists.
