EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Portrait of Edmond Duranty" a renowned writer and art critic, created by the masterful Edgar Degas in 1879. The painting, rendered with pastel and tempera on wood, is housed in the prestigious Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. Edgar Degas skillfully captures Duranty's essence through his use of color and texture. The portrait exudes an air of sophistication as Duranty gazes thoughtfully into the distance. His intelligent eyes seem to hold a wealth of knowledge about literature and art. The composition is meticulously executed, with every brushstroke revealing Degas' mastery of impressionism. This style lends itself perfectly to capturing not only Duranty's physical features but also his inner world as a writer. The painting evokes a sense of literary inspiration that emanates from within its subject.

A delicate pansy rests on the table beside him, symbolizing both fragility and resilience - qualities often found in writers who dare to challenge conventions. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography highlights every intricate detail of this remarkable artwork while paying homage to French culture and literature.
