Samuel Palmer's "Shoreham" refers to the period in the early 19th century when the British artist lived and worked in the village of Shoreham in Kent, England. This phase, often termed the "Shoreham Period," is considered the most significant and influential in Palmer's career, spanning from 1826 to 1835. During this time, Palmer was deeply inspired by the idyllic rural landscape and the pastoral beauty of the Darent Valley, which profoundly influenced his artistic vision and output.

Palmer moved to Shoreham at the age of 21, seeking solace and inspiration away from the bustling city life of London. He was part of a group of artists known as the Ancients, who were united by their admiration for the works of William Blake and their shared desire to return to a simpler, more spiritual way of life. The Ancients, including George Richmond and Edward Calvert, often visited Palmer in Shoreham, and together they explored themes of pastoralism, mysticism, and the sublime in their art.

The works created during Palmer's Shoreham Period are characterized by their visionary quality, rich use of color, and intricate detail. His paintings and drawings from this time often depict an idealized, almost otherworldly countryside, imbued with a sense of divine presence and tranquility. Notable works from this period include "The Magic Apple Tree," "The Harvest Moon," and "A Cornfield by Moonlight with the Evening Star." These pieces reflect Palmer's deep connection to nature and his belief in the spiritual significance of the natural world.

Palmer's time in Shoreham came to an end in 1835 when he married Hannah Linnell, the daughter of the painter John Linnell, and moved back to London. Despite the brevity of this period, the Shoreham years left an indelible mark on Palmer's artistic legacy, and his works from this time continue to be celebrated for their unique blend of Romanticism and mysticism.
