View of Louvain 

Editor: This watercolor, "View of Louvain," is by a British School artist from the 19th century. The architecture is so striking. What draws your eye when you look at it? Curator: The composition is structured by a contrast between the imposing Gothic church and the more domestic structures in the foreground. Note how the artist employs linear perspective to guide the viewer's gaze, while the limited palette creates a sense of tonal unity. Editor: The colours create a sense of harmony despite the different architectural forms. Thank you for pointing out the composition. Curator: Indeed. The interplay of form and color is quite masterful.
