Hilaire-Germain Edgar Degas
Hilaire-Germain Edgar Degas is an Impressionism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Edgar Degas painted dancers, theaters, and backstage life in 19th-century Paris. He made prints like *Sur la Scène* and oil paintings such as *The Ballet Scene from Meyerbeer's Opera Robert Le Diable*. These works show performers practicing, resting, or waiting in the wings. Look for the way he catches fleeting moments with loose brushwork and sharp angles. Tap *Loges d'actrices* to zoom in on another quiet backstage scene.
