Pope Julius III’s ‘country’ seat, the Villa Giulia, was sacked after his death in 1555 and over the ensuing centuries became in effect a barn.

The young Hubert Robert during his residency in Rome, 1754-65, was fascinated by the remains of ancient splendour and the contrast of its subsequent decay and mundane usage. As it turned out, within a few years of Robert’s return to France, the Villa Giulia was restored by Pope Clement XIV.

The subject is based on a Shoreham drawing of c1832, which Palmer had already reprised for a small oil on panel in 1843. It reflects lines from Milton’s L’Allegro

To hear the lark begin his flight,
And singing startle the dull night,
From his watch-tower in the skies,
Till the dappled dawn doth rise.

Palmer joined the Etching Club in 1850 and found a huge enthusiasm for the technique, whereby he recaptured the ‘vision’ of the Shoreham years.

The joyous splash of May blossom calls to mind Samuel Palmer’s blossom tree in the water & body colour In a Shoreham Garden c1829, now in the V & A Museum.

The drawing of the stile, in Kington Langley, dates back to the 1930’s, though only etched in 1975.

The artist’s parents were betrothed beneath this tree in 1898.
