Otford Church Greeting Card - Samuel Palmer

A greeting card using the painting 'Otford Church' by Samuel Palmer (1805-1881)

Samuel Palmer was an English landscape painter and etcher. He was precocious, first exhibiting at the Royal Academy when he was only 14. In 1826 he moved to Shoreham, near Sevenoaks, Kent. There he became the central figure of the group of Blake-inspired artists known as the Ancients and produced what are now his most famous works. His later paintings were in a more conventional pastoral mode. Until recently they have generally been dismissed, but they are now viewed more sympathetically.
