Works of A. Calame, Number 65 c. 19th century

Editor: Let's talk about "Works of A. Calame, Number 65" by Alexandre Calame. It's a landscape...very detailed. It feels a bit like a stage set, with those trees like actors in the foreground. What's your take? Curator: Well, it's funny you say stage set! Calame did aim for a kind of dramatic grandeur, didn't he? I see this intense longing for nature, a yearning to capture its sublime power. The play of light and shadow, the almost theatrical arrangement of elements...it's all about evoking a feeling, not just documenting a place. Editor: So, more about feeling than accuracy? Curator: Precisely! Think of it as a romantic poem painted onto a canvas. It’s not necessarily about a real location, but about the emotional experience of being in nature, wouldn’t you agree? Editor: That makes a lot of sense! I definitely see the romanticism now. Curator: And hopefully, a little of the artist's soul.
