Evening
- Title
- Evening
- Student Commentary:
- This first page from Palmer’s Sketchbook (1962 facsimile) shows Palmer’s interest in drawing evening scenes, skies, and landscapes. This particular scene is believed to be from July 15, 1824 and portrays twilight, with a rising moon over various hills, houses and fields. Palmer uses nearly half of the page to write down his ideas and thoughts. The sketches in the bottom of the page are very simple but foreshadow the landscape paintings for which he would become famous. Not available at the William Blake Archive. Consult the book in Schaffer Library for a detailed view of the image.
