Newport Castle, after Turner c. 19th century

Editor: This is Miss Bundell's "Newport Castle, after Turner," a delicate drawing in the Harvard Art Museums. There's a real sense of lightness and maybe even melancholy about it. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It whispers of Turner, doesn't it? Bundell seems to be channeling his atmospheric touch, that dreamy quality. I wonder what drew her to this subject. Was it the romanticism of ruins, perhaps? Or maybe the challenge of capturing Turner's fleeting light in her own way? Editor: That's a great point. I hadn't thought about the 'challenge' aspect of it. Curator: Art, after all, is often a conversation, and what can we learn from interpreting the masters? Editor: Absolutely. I'll definitely be looking at other works through this lens.
