EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "The Lonely Tower, 1879". Samuel Palmer transports us to a hauntingly beautiful scene in the English countryside. The darkness of night envelops the landscape, creating an eerie atmosphere that is both mysterious and enchanting. Nestled amidst rugged hills and mountainous terrain stands a deserted tower, its silhouette barely visible against the moonlit sky. A soft glow emanates from within, casting an ethereal light on the surrounding area. It seems as though time has stood still in this remote corner of the world. A group of shepherds and a shepherdess are gathered nearby, their figures illuminated by the gentle moonlight. They watch over their flock of sheep with quiet diligence, their presence adding to the sense of solitude that permeates this nocturnal scene. Palmer's masterful use of light and shadow creates a mesmerizing contrast between darkness and illumination. The viewer is drawn into this enigmatic landscape, left wondering about the stories hidden within these ancient walls. "The Lonely Tower" invites us to contemplate our own connection to nature and our place within it. It reminds us that even in desolation, there is beauty to be found – if only we take a moment to pause and appreciate it. This print can be found at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection where it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure.
