Description
Samuel Palmer was one of England’s greatest landscape painters, who came from London to live and work in the Kentish village of Shoreham below the chalk hills of the North Downs. Through his artistic perception, Shoreham was to have immortality bestowed upon it as “The valley of vision”.;Palmer often walked at night to the distant hills where he could watch the sun rise over “the flower of Kentish scenery”. Below was his “golden valley” – the hamlet of Underriver. This book tells the story of his excursions to the “pastoral slopes and moonlit glades” above Underriver. It also contains 13 Palmer paintings and drawings.
