The Princess, St. George and St. Louis, after Tintoretto 1892

Editor: This piece, "The Princess, St. George and St. Louis, after Tintoretto," by Robert David Gauley, feels like a shadowy dream. It's as if the figures are emerging from the darkness. What do you see in this homage to Tintoretto? Curator: It's interesting that you call it a shadowy dream, because for me, it has the quality of a half-remembered myth. Gauley captures that Venetian drama but filters it through his own sensibility. Editor: A myth, yes, I see that! It’s like a story being whispered across centuries. I appreciate the dark palette now. Curator: Exactly. I think Gauley uses that darkness to invite us into the mystery, making the story feel both distant and strangely relevant. Editor: I never thought about it that way. I think I have a better understanding of it now. Curator: Me too!
