Product description
A soft, diffused light filters through the studio windows, catching the delicate tulle of tutus in mid-motion. In this composition, Edgar Degas captures the quiet discipline of a nineteenth-century rehearsal room through a refined palette of sage green, soft peach, and warm ochre.
About Edgar Degas
Edgar Degas (1834–1917) exhibited with the Impressionists but preferred to call himself a realist. Degas is best known for ballet dancers, painted rehearsing and resting as often as performing. Impressionist paintings use visible brushstrokes and soft colour that feel bright and airy on a wall. The original image dates from 1879. The Impressionists held their first independent exhibition in Paris in 1874.
Styling this Edgar Degas print
This Edgar Degas print pairs an elegant atmosphere with a yellow, green and pink palette that is easy to build a room around. In a bedroom, hang “The Dance Lesson” above the bed: 20×30″ or 24×36″ for impact, 12×18″ for a smaller wall. Finish “The Dance Lesson” with a black or antique-gold frame: its yellow, green and pink palette warms up grey or white walls and suits natural wood and brass accents.
