Editor: This lovely little sketch by the British School features a fountain in Villa Borghese, Italy. It feels so light and airy, almost like a dream. How do you interpret this work? Curator: It's a window into a moment, isn't it? The artist, capturing the essence of the fountain, reduces it to its most elegant form. The pencil whispers, the fountain sings. It makes you wonder what else they sketched that day. Editor: I hadn't thought about it being a snapshot in time, now I'm wondering about what they were doing that day, too! Curator: Exactly! Art isn't just about what's there; it's also about what isn't. And what you bring to it, of course.
