Curator: Edward Goodall gives us his rendition of "The Landing of Columbus" in this small print. It almost looks like a fleeting memory captured in ink. Editor: There’s a starkness here. All that empty space surrounding the scene gives it a removed quality. The boat seems insignificant against the vastness of the unknown, doesn’t it? Curator: Absolutely, and the lack of grandeur clashes with the weight this event carries. It makes you wonder, what was Goodall trying to convey? Is it a critique, or simply a different perspective? Editor: Perhaps both. By stripping away the heroic varnish, he forces us to confront the event with new eyes, its impact laid bare and unresolved. Curator: Precisely! It's a powerful statement, even in its quiet simplicity. Editor: Indeed, and a poignant reminder of the complexities woven into the fabric of history.
