Tantallun's Towers 19th-20th century

Editor: This is "Tantallun's Towers" by David Young Cameron. It's a somber scene, all muted tones and crumbling architecture. The castle ruins seem to be dissolving into the landscape. What do you make of it? Curator: It whispers of time's relentless passage, doesn't it? Cameron captures the romance of decay, like a beautiful melody played on a slightly out-of-tune piano. The etching technique gives it a ghostly quality, almost as if the towers are fading from memory. Editor: I hadn't thought about the "ghostly quality," but now I see it too. Thanks! Curator: Art is a journey, my dear, and we're all just fellow travelers sharing our snapshots along the way.
