Paintings by Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas was born in 1834 in Paris. He was a French painter and sculptor of the Impressionist period, one of the most prominent artists of the time. At the beginning of his artistic path, he was preoccupied with creating large-scale paintings on historical subjects. It was thanks to these paintings that he became known as a painter. He later devoted himself to other subjects. Degas painted portraits, nudes and scenes from life. He was one of the founders of Impressionism. He exhibited many of his works at the exhibition that gave rise to this current in art. Unlike the leading Impressionists, however, he did not generally paint landscapes because he disliked working outdoors due to his photophobia.

Degas was an excellent observer of reality and human relations, which is perfectly evident in his paintings. He was also a master of presenting figures in motion. Many of Degas' works depict scenes of bathing, washing, ballerinas and horse racing. The artist returned to these motifs over the years of his work. In a way, they have become his trademark.

Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas was a French painter and sculptor associated with Impressionism. He was born in 1834. He became famous for the inventive composition of his works, his exquisite line and his ability to depict figures in motion. Many of his works captured the nightlife of Paris. The subjects of Edgar Degas paintings also included historical and contemporary genre scenes, sports scenes and horses. Degas' artistic career began with his studies at the Ecole de Beaux-Arts in Paris. The painter admired the works of famous painters in the Louvre and looked to them for inspiration. Edgar Degas also spent time in Italy, where he studied the art of that country - the work of masters such as Raphael Santi, Titian and Michelangelo. His style was constantly evolving, and the turning point in his development was a fortuitous meeting with Edoarad Manet in 1862 at the Louvre, through which the artist became acquainted with many of the artists associated with Impressionism, which was just emerging at the time. This resulted in a change in both the subject matter of Degas' works and the painting technique itself. Today, Edgar Degas' works can be admired in many well-known museums.

Dancers and other most famous works by Degas

One of Degas' favourite motifs were dancers and ballerinas. He was most likely to depict them in behind-the-scenes, intimate situations - while mending a costume or bathing. Dance was for the artist a pretext for a complex study of movement and transferring it to canvas.
Among Edgar Degas' most famous works is the pastel painting Dancers, which depicts three ballerinas in yellow dresses. Other works inspired by ballet include 'Primaballerina' and 'Paris Opera Ball'.
