Curatorial notes

Editor: This is "Starenberg Castle" by Baron Stephan von Stengel, it's an architectural drawing. I'm struck by the castle's imposing presence against that dramatic sky. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It whispers of journeys, doesn't it? The Baron, capturing not just stone, but the spirit of a place, a moment in time where power met nature. Is it a romantic dream, or a fortress against the world? What do you feel it is? Editor: Maybe a bit of both? I didn’t consider the journey aspect. Curator: Art often holds more than one truth, and you, dear friend, are on the right path to finding them. Editor: So true, it's amazing to see something new each time!
