Campagna, Rome c. 19th century

Editor: This is "Campagna, Rome" by Edward Goodall. It's a print, and the scene feels very desolate. What do you see in this piece? Curator: I see a commentary on labor and land. Look at the relationship between the classical structure and the working animals. How does this interplay between the monument and the daily lives of people influence the consumption of the place? Editor: That’s interesting! I hadn't considered how it speaks to the consumption and use of space. Curator: Exactly! It prompts questions about who benefits from the land and whose labor sustains its image. Editor: This makes me think about how travel and tourism impact local communities. Curator: Precisely. It's all intertwined: process, materials, and social context.
