WorldCanvass began its eleventh season of internationally focused discussions on September 19 with “Art and the Face of War: Goya and Tolstoy.” While Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco de Goya and Russian writer Leo Tolstoy were separated by time and space, the two created incomparable masterworks centered on the tragic events of the more than decade-long Napoleonic Wars. WorldCanvass guests joined host Joan Kjaer to explore how these masterworks depicted this period of human struggle, and also how they have been interpreted over time through film and opera.
