About this work

This room is packed with people dressed in old-fashioned robes, sitting on stone steps and standing in the back. A few men in the front are listening intently, while one stands pointing at something. The walls have statues and carvings, and the lighting makes the scene feel warm and shadowy. The artist used soft colors and blurred edges to show the crowd’s movement, which was a new way to paint at the time. Look up Realism to see how this style focused on everyday life.
