New Bridge from the Quai du Louvre c. 19th century

Editor: This is James Duffield Harding’s "New Bridge from the Quai du Louvre." It gives off a very romantic, almost wistful, feeling. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Oh, isn't it charming? For me, it's all about capturing a specific moment, a fleeting impression. Harding's technique is so deft, almost like he's sketching with light and water. It feels like a memory fading into a dream. Editor: I can see that, it is dreamlike. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure! It has been great to share my thoughts on this piece with you.
