Label TextSamuel Palmer, like Edward Calvert, was a member of “The Ancients,” a group of artists who gathered in Shoreham, Kent, focusing on the landscape and the religious associations of the passing of the seasons. This intimate work reflects his deep personal spirituality. The aura-like light of the sun coming through the trees illuminates the humble daily activities of the peasants washing their sheep in the creek.
