Villa Madama, Moonlight c. 19th century

Editor: Here we see Henry Le Keux's "Villa Madama, Moonlight." The architecture seems to glow ethereally. How do you interpret the moonlit setting in this work? Curator: It’s a beautifully romanticized vision, isn't it? The moonlight almost softens the architecture's grandeur, lending it an air of mystery. It makes me wonder about hidden stories and hushed whispers echoing through its halls. What secrets do you think the villa holds under that luminous glow? Editor: Perhaps stories of romance or intrigue. I never thought about the stories the setting evokes. Thanks!
