Editor: This intriguing drawing by John Flaxman, held at the Tate, seems to depict an architectural fragment on a sketchbook page. It feels rather like a ghost of classical grandeur. What do you make of this vision? Curator: I see Flaxman, ever the neoclassicist, capturing the essence of antiquity. It's like he's distilled the Parthenon down to its purest form, almost a dream of what once was, wouldn't you say? It sparks a longing for that lost ideal. Editor: Absolutely, a longing! The starkness, the monochrome...it's both beautiful and melancholic. Thanks for that insight. Curator: My pleasure. It's funny how a simple sketch can carry such weight, isn't it? It makes you wonder what Flaxman was thinking, doesn't it?
