Description
Printing reproduction of a famous Degas painting, Green Dancer. Today it has been carefully recreated detail-by-detail, color-by-color to near perfection. Edgar Degas was born in Paris in 1834 and studied art from a young age. His most popular paintings were and still are his ballerina paintings like The Dance Class, Star Dancer (On Stage), and Dance Studio at the Opera. Asymmetrical compositions like Two Dancers on Stage show the influence of the Japanese prints in which Degas became interested. His painting career was prematurely ended by failing eyesight, and he died in Paris in 1917. This work of art has the same emotions and beauty as the original. Why not grace your home with this reproduced masterpiece? It is sure to bring many admirers! You’ll feel the joy emanating from the canvas every time you gaze at this reproduction of Edgar Degas’ The Green Dancer. The original was completed in 1879 and captures a star dancer in green at center stage, with back-up dancers in the background. Degas was fascinated by female dancers, with more than half of his works being of dance and ballet. The technical precision of their poses, together with bright color and tone, perfectly captures the moment as if in mid-performance. Degas (1834-1917) was one of the founders of the French Impressionist movement, but unlike many of his peers who focused on outdoor landscapes, he preferred to paint spontaneous scenes as if creating a photograph. This slice-of-life approach belied intense passion for his subjects, and that passion shines through in this hand-painted reproduction from overstockArt.
