Join Art Historian Anik Waldeck, Ph.D. (Cambridge) as she dives into one of the most scandalous paintings of the late 19th century, Edgar Degas's 'In a Café'.

Degas, one of the founding members of the Impressionist group, was fascinated by the modern, bustling city of Paris. He was particularly drawn to its nightlife and one of his most famous – or infamous – depictions of this subject is 'In a Café', also known as 'L’Absinthe'.

It may appear rather straightforward at first glance, but there is much more to this painting than meets the eye!

In this lecture, we’ll be peeling back the layers of this remarkable work, not only to better understand its artistic details, but also to learn about the fascinating contexts in which it was produced.
