Caernarvon Castle Possibly 1837

Editor: So, here we have William James Müller’s "Caernarvon Castle" at the Tate. It feels like looking at a memory, hazy and dreamlike. What catches your eye in this piece? Curator: It feels like Müller isn't just painting a castle, but the very air around it – a certain golden melancholy. The square of bright light in the sky almost feels like a tear in the canvas, revealing something beyond. It invites reflection, doesn’t it? Editor: It does. I hadn’t thought of it that way, but I agree! Thank you. Curator: My pleasure. It's all about feeling the painting, not just seeing it.
