"Sleeping Shepherd - Morning, c.1857" is a painting by the British artist Samuel Palmer (1805–1881), who was known for his pastoral landscapes imbued with a romantic and visionary appeal. The work is characteristic of Palmer's mature period, during which he produced many of his most celebrated pieces that reflect a deep appreciation for the English countryside.

The painting depicts a serene pastoral scene at dawn, with a shepherd asleep amidst the rolling hills and lush vegetation that typify Palmer's idealized rural settings. The tranquility of the scene is accentuated by the soft, diffused light of the morning sun, which bathes the landscape in a warm glow. This light, a hallmark of Palmer's work, often carries symbolic meaning, suggesting spiritual awakening or the divine.

Palmer's technique in "Sleeping Shepherd - Morning" showcases his adept use of rich colors and meticulous attention to detail, which contribute to the overall sense of harmony and peace within the composition. The shepherd's repose, juxtaposed with the awakening day, invites contemplation on themes of nature, the pastoral life, and the cycle of day and night.

As a member of the Ancients, a group of artists who were followers of William Blake, Palmer was deeply influenced by Blake's visionary approach to art. This influence is evident in the dreamlike quality of "Sleeping Shepherd - Morning," where the landscape transcends mere representation and becomes an expression of spiritual or poetic truth.

"Sleeping Shepherd - Morning, c.1857" is considered an important work within Palmer's oeuvre, exemplifying his unique contribution to British landscape painting and the Romantic tradition. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic beauty, symbolic richness, and its reflection of Palmer's personal and artistic ideals. It continues to be studied and admired for its evocative portrayal of the English countryside and its capacity to convey a sense of the sublime.
