Edgar Degas was a French artist best known for his vivid depictions of dancers, capturing the beauty and energy of movement with remarkable detail. Born in 1834, Degas combined traditional painting techniques with innovative compositions to explore moments often unseen by the audience.
His work goes beyond ballet, portraying everyday scenes of horse races, women at their toilette, and musicians, all rendered with a keen eye for human posture and expression. Degas’s use of unusual angles and cropping added a dynamic, almost photographic quality to his art.
A master of pastels and drawing as well as oil painting, Degas played a key role in the Impressionist movement while maintaining his unique style that balanced realism and impressionism.
