The Adoration of the Angels c. 18th century

Editor: So, here we have "The Adoration of the Angels" by Jean-Baptiste Le Prince, a drawing. It has such a gentle feel, doesn't it? What captures your eye in this piece? Curator: Its airy quality, definitely. It reminds me of a dream, light and flowing. Le Prince wasn't afraid to leave things unfinished, to let the white of the paper become part of the composition. Makes you wonder what he was thinking, doesn't it? Almost like he wanted to capture a fleeting moment. Editor: A fleeting moment, I like that! It makes it seem more intimate. Curator: Exactly. It's as though we're peeking into a private, sacred space.
