Study of Clouds c. 1890 - 1900

Editor: Here we have George Frederic Watts’ "Study of Clouds," no date specified. I find the landscape so evocative, filled with turbulent skies, but I wonder, what’s your read on this piece? Curator: Ah, Watts, a master of mood! For me, the drama lies in that contrast. The way the light spears through those heavy clouds, it's almost theatrical, isn't it? Like hope breaking through despair. Editor: It is, like a glimpse of something beyond. Curator: Exactly! Perhaps he's suggesting that even in the darkest moments, there's always a glimmer of light waiting to burst forth. What do you think? Editor: I see that now. It definitely reframes how I initially viewed the piece. Thank you! Curator: My pleasure! It's all about those layers, isn't it? Art and clouds alike.
