EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a bronze sculpture by the renowned French artist Edgar Degas (1834-1917), titled "Little Fourteen Year Old Dancer." Created between 1879 and 1881, this masterpiece is now proudly displayed at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. Degas, a contemporary sculptor and painter, was a leading figure in the Impressionist movement and is celebrated for his innovative approach to capturing the essence of movement and modern life. The sculpture portrays a young ballet dancer, likely around fourteen years old, in a moment of quiet contemplation before or after a performance. Her delicate features, tinted with a hint of melancholy, convey the intensity and dedication required to master the art of dance. The cotton skirt of her costume is delicately rendered, with intricate folds and creases that reveal the artist's meticulous attention to detail. Degas' innovative style is evident in the way he captures the dancer's graceful pose and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The sculpture's bronze material adds a sense of timelessness and durability, ensuring that this work continues to captivate and inspire viewers for generations to come. Marie van Goethen, a prominent Danish scholar, was instrumental in bringing Degas' works to Denmark, and this sculpture is a testament to her vision and commitment to promoting European art. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, with its impressive collection of ancient and contemporary sculptures, is the perfect home for this exquisite piece of Impressionist history.
