My thoughts on today’s masterclass

[ALEKSIA MIRAQIS]

I found the analysis really interesting especially in terms of the lengths that governments can go to silence voices through censorship. Many statements can have a lot of power to the point they can change the world and it is very interesting that there might be so many more unexplained or not even known situations that have been hidden from us through censorship. But I also was really fascinated by the way Manet depicted the event through his eyes, it evoked that tense emotion to me from the first sight.

I agree that Manet was able to convey the tension of the scene through his painting!

What artistic elements represent tension to you?

The color scheme immediately gave me a negative vibe but as I observed in more detail the expressions of the men behind Maximilian as well as the way Manet drew their stance really conveyed something serious and so quick, so before knowing the context I felt tense seeing it.
