Product description
There is a soft, rhythmic shuffling of satin slippers against worn floorboards that seems to echo through this muted studio space. Edgar Degas captures a candid moment of preparation, where light pours through tall, arched windows to illuminate the delicate white tutus of young dancers.
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 painters often used pure, unmixed colours placed side by side to create vibrancy. The original image dates from 1878. Impressionism emerged in France in the 1870s, with artists painting outdoors to capture light and atmosphere.
Styling this Edgar Degas print
Easy to style, this Edgar Degas print suits modern and traditional rooms alike. In a bedroom, hang “The Rehearsal” above the bed: 20×30″ or 24×36″ for impact, 12×18″ for a smaller wall. A black or antique-gold frame suits “The Rehearsal” well and keeps the focus on the image. “The Rehearsal” also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps.
