Edgar Degas - paintings from 1855 to 1910

Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was born into a cultured Parisian family that encouraged his interest in music and painting. As a young artist, he studied classical antiquity and became acquainted with the collections of Greco-Roman art in the Louvre Museum in Paris. After a long period of conventional artistic study, Edgar Degas turned his attention to the modern city. In the mid-1860s, he began to represent scenes and personalities from the Paris Opéra, where ballets were performed. As well as recording this world with great vividness, Degas used the dance to create original and challenging works of art about urban life. Known to his contemporaries as "the painter of dancers," Degas devoted more than half his entire artistic output to ballet themes.
