Landscape with a Barn, Shoreham, Kent is a 1828 watercolor by Samuel Palmer, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Palmer stayed in Shoreham from 1826 to 1834. He called this his ‘Shoreham Period’. He admired William Blake’s bold, imaginative art. The watercolor feels dreamy and warm. It’s small but full of quiet magic. Look up the artist Samuel Palmer next.
