Lochiel's Warning c. 19th century

Editor: Here we have "Lochiel's Warning" by Edward Goodall, residing here at the Harvard Art Museums. It's an intriguing little print, and I'm struck by the ominous atmosphere that seems to swirl around the figures. What do you see in it? Curator: For me, it's a glimpse into a world steeped in Highland lore. Think of it as a visual echo of a Scottish ballad, perhaps, where warnings are whispered on the wind, and impending doom casts a long shadow. The artist, with delicate strokes, conjures a scene both intimate and epic, doesn’t he? Editor: That's helpful. I was so focused on the darkness, I missed the intimacy. Curator: Sometimes the smallest whispers carry the greatest weight, wouldn't you agree? And in art, as in life, it's often the unseen that truly captivates.
