The Skylark, 1850. Creator: Samuel Palmer (British, 1805-1881)
The Skylark, 1850. Palmer came to printmaking relatively late in his career in 1850 when he was elected to the Etching Club in London. He created a significant number of landscape etchings, intricate in detail and sonorous in chiaroscuro. In The Skylark, one of Palmers earliest compositions, a solitary figure in a rural landscape contemplates the flight of a songbird. Palmer has been compared to the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich (also in this exhibition), who produced images infused with a similarly indefinable atmosphere of calm, mystery, and breathless silence

The Skylark, 1850
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Samuel Palmer, a renowned British artist of the 19th century. This particular artwork showcases Palmer's transition into printmaking later in his career when he joined the prestigious Etching Club in London. Known for his intricate landscapes and skillful use of chiaroscuro, Palmer created a significant number of landscape etchings that exuded an atmosphere of calmness and mystery. In this early composition, "The Skylark" we are transported to a rural setting where a solitary figure stands amidst nature's beauty. As our gaze follows the figure's contemplative pose, we are drawn towards the flight of a songbird - the skylark itself. The delicate details and careful shading employed by Palmer bring life to both the human subject and their surroundings. Palmer has often been compared to Caspar David Friedrich, another prominent Romantic artist known for infusing his works with an enigmatic ambiance. Just like Friedrich's paintings, "The Skylark" evokes feelings of tranquility and breathless silence as we immerse ourselves in its ethereal charm. This remarkable piece not only showcases Palmer's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to his ability to capture nature's essence on paper. With its timeless appeal and rich heritage value, "The Skylark" remains an exquisite example of British art from the 19th century.
