Amalfi 19th-20th century

Editor: So, here we have Denman Waldo Ross’s watercolor, "Amalfi." There's a hazy, dreamlike quality to it. How do you interpret this work, particularly the use of color and light? Curator: Ah, Amalfi! The blues feel weighty, ancient even, while that yellow light on the water dances with possibility. It's like a memory, isn't it? Faded but glowing. Reminds me of a half-remembered summer, a place I swear I've been, but perhaps only in a dream. What do you think that tower represents? Editor: Maybe resilience? It definitely anchors the scene. I hadn't thought of it that way, as a memory. Curator: Art is a funny thing; it holds up a mirror to our souls. I leave feeling nostalgic, as if I’ve been to Amalfi myself.
