What sort of atmosphere do many of Degas' paintings evoke?

  • Tranquility

  • Melancholy

  • Exuberance

Answer

Melancholy: Degas' paintings often exude an air of sadness and contemplation. His subjects, often captured in candid or introspective moments, seem immersed in their thoughts, their emotions palpable in the stillness of the canvas. The muted tones, soft brushstrokes, and carefully composed scenes contribute to the sense of melancholy, leaving a lingering feeling of nostalgia and reflection in the viewer.
