Product description
Jules Perrot stands at the center of the wooden rehearsal floor, leaning on his staff while observing a dozen young dancers. This specific composition, captured in the ballet class art print, illustrates Edgar Degas’ mastery of perspective and light within the confines of a 19th-century Parisian studio.
About Edgar Degas
Degas is best known for ballet dancers, painted rehearsing and resting as often as performing. He worked in pastel, oil and sculpture, and often used unusual, cropped viewpoints inspired by photography. Impressionist painters often used pure, unmixed colours placed side by side to create vibrancy. The original image dates from 1874. Edgar Degas (1834–1917) exhibited with the Impressionists but preferred to call himself a realist.
Styling this Edgar Degas print
