Samuel Palmer developed a personal and emotionally charged style of landscape painting that celebrated nature as the product of divine creation. This watercolor of a spectacularly colorful sunset over the hills of Surrey was painted by Palmer toward the end of his life. An autumn sky heavy with rows of cumulus clouds shimmers in a pattern of pink and amethyst, as slivers of golden light emanate from the setting sun. The idyllic landscape is an elegy not only to a passing day, but to the brevity of life itself.

Geoffrey Grigsonâs book âSamuel Palmer - the visionary yearsâ has a chapter on Palmerâs circle of artist friends. He makes reference to Edward Calvertâs divergence from christianity in favour of pagan gods:
âHis wavering back to Pan may explain why, in their third states, he cut away the religious sentences from ⊠The Cyder Feastâ.
