EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Edgar Degas' study for the seated figure of "Repetition de ballet sur la scène". Painted in 1873, this oil and paint has essence on paper artwork showcases Degas' remarkable talent in capturing the grace and elegance of dancers. In this particular piece, a sitting dancer is turned to the right, her body exuding both strength and poise. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously portrays every curve and contour of her form. The use of blue paper adds a touch of vibrancy to the composition, enhancing the overall effect. Degas was renowned for his fascination with ballet dancers, often depicting them in various poses and stages of rehearsal. His ability to capture their movements with such precision made him one of the most celebrated artists of his time. Currently housed at Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France, this painting was donated by the Societe des Amis du Louvre in 1931. Its presence within these prestigious walls allows art enthusiasts from around the world to appreciate Degas' mastery firsthand. Through Sylvain Collet's skillful photography, we are able to experience this artwork even if we cannot physically be present at Musee d'Orsay. This print serves as a testament to Degas' enduring legacy and provides us with an opportunity to admire his genius from afar.
