Landscape c. 19th century

Curator: This is "Landscape" by Marcelle Baudey. It resides here at the Harvard Art Museums. Editor: Oh, it’s so hushed. Like holding your breath in the gloaming. Curator: Baudey rendered this scene in 1933. Look how she captures the light reflecting on the water. It's almost dreamlike. Editor: Right, Baudey emphasizes the mutability of landscape, its transience, especially in relation to the female gaze in the early 20th century. Curator: A powerful, yet quiet statement. I feel the stillness deep within me. Editor: I agree, and it invites us to consider our own place within these spaces, both real and imagined.
