Translate Museum Exhibition Copy Into Plain Language

The wall text is one hundred and fifty words and you have read it twice and are less certain about the painting than before you started. Exhibition copy is written for peer approval as much as for visitors. This strips the argument back to what it is actually claiming, replaces the opaque phrases, and gives you a plain two-sentence version that tells you what to look for.
