Au Revoir Simone – Still Night, Still Light (2009) / Samuel Palmer – Shepherds Under a Full Moon (1919)
Variante:
We searched far and wide for inspiration for our album art. We really wanted something to “come to us” but it wasn’t… and we were running out of time. I found a postcard in the bottom of my desk drawer that my boyfriend had picked up at a show at the Met with this very beautiful and mysterious tree. It was a painting by Samuel Palmer and it caught my eye so i decided to research him. He was an English romantic landscape artist, and member of The Ancients, a group of 19th century artists whose work expressed a mystical vision of nature. He made so many beautiful moonscapes and said “very late twilight time with the rising dews is like a delicious dream.” It was perfect for “Still Night, Still Light” and we were very lucky to obtain permission from the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford to use the image.
