Ballerina - Degas
Regular price
£40.00
Museum Vase based on a work by Edgar Degas
Danseuse sur Scene (1877)
Degas developed an interest in ballet at an early age and in 1872 he made his first studies of ballet dances. He avoided the true drama, the perfomance itself. Like he pictured the world of the horseracer before and after the race, he showed what happened behind the scenes in the ballet world of L'Opera. He chose subtile, apparently random composition and painted them with an unexpected approach.
