Degas and the ballet<\/h2>\n

Degas is the painter of dancers: he painted and drew them hundreds of times, from the rehearsal rooms of the Paris Op\u00e9ra to the stage itself. He was less interested in the performance than in the moments around it \u2013 stretching at the barre, waiting in the wings, tying a shoe. Many of his dance scenes are pastels; our painters reproduce them in oil or acrylic on canvas, keeping the soft, chalky light of the originals.<\/p>\n

Our dance paintings include Two Dancers<\/a>, Ballet Dancers in the Wings<\/a>, Dancers at the Barre<\/a> and Seated Dancer Adjusting Her Shoes<\/a>, the classroom scenes The Dance Class<\/a>, The Dancing Class<\/a>, The Ballet Class<\/a> and Dance Rehearsal in the Foyer<\/a>, and the stage scenes Ballet Rehearsal on Stage<\/a>, Four Ballerinas on Stage<\/a>, Four Dancers<\/a>, Dancers in Pink<\/a> and Blue Dancers<\/a>. In The Orchestra at the Opera<\/a> and The Ballet from Robert le Diable<\/a> the musicians sit in the foreground while the dancers glow on the stage behind them.<\/p>\n

The Absinthe Drinker and Young Spartans<\/h2>\n

The Absinthe Drinker<\/a> (1875\u201376) shows a woman sitting alone in a Paris caf\u00e9 in front of a glass of absinthe, with a man in a hat beside her; the models were the actress Ellen Andr\u00e9e and the painter Marcellin Desboutin. The original is in the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay in Paris.<\/p>\n

Young Spartans Exercising<\/a> is an early history painting from about 1860: on a plain outside Sparta, a group of girls challenges a group of boys. It hangs in the National Gallery in London.<\/p>\n

Paris, the sea and the races<\/h2>\n

Degas also painted everyday working Paris: Woman Ironing<\/a> and The Laundress<\/a> show women at work<\/a>, and Woman Combing Her Hair<\/a> and After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself<\/a> belong to his late series of women at their toilette. By the sea he painted Beach Scene<\/a>, Peasant Girls Bathing in the Sea at Dusk<\/a> and Landscape by the Sea<\/a>. Racing fascinated him for decades: Racehorses at Longchamp<\/a>, Race Horses before the Stands<\/a> and Scene from the Steeplechase: The Fallen Jockey<\/a> capture horses and riders before and during the race.<\/p>\n

Portraits<\/h2>\n

The Bellelli Family<\/a> is his large early portrait of his aunt\u2019s family in Florence, which hangs in the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay. Portrait in a New Orleans Cotton Office<\/a> shows his uncle\u2019s cotton business in New Orleans in 1873; in 1878 it became the first painting by Degas bought by a museum. Mademoiselle Dihau at the Piano<\/a> is a portrait of a musician friend at the piano.<\/p>\n

Which Degas suits which room?<\/h2>\n

The dancers are the classic choice for a girl\u2019s room, a bedroom, a dance studio or a hallway: Two Dancers<\/a>, Dancers in Pink<\/a> or Seated Dancer Adjusting Her Shoes<\/a> work well in small and medium sizes. The Absinthe Drinker<\/a> and The Orchestra at the Opera<\/a> are atmospheric paintings for a study, a bar or a dining room, the racehorses suit an office or a living room, and the beach scenes<\/a> bring light into a bathroom or a bedroom. Choose a painting about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, and hang it so that its centre sits about 150 cm above the floor.<\/p>\n

Sizes, prices, custom size and frame<\/h2>\n

Each painting has its own range of sizes, matched to the proportions of the original, and the product page shows the price of every size. Sizes run from 27 x 20 cm up to 150 x 210 cm, and prices start at 108 \u20ac. If your wall needs a different measurement, send us the width and height: we paint the painting in your size<\/a>. A frame is available on request, and our 3D application shows our frame profiles on the painting you choose. For a gift, a wall art voucher<\/a> lets the recipient choose the painting and the size.<\/p>\n

How we hand-paint a Degas<\/h2>\n

Every painting is painted to order by hand in oil or acrylic on canvas, layer by layer, by our painters, who work in different locations. With Degas the work is in the light and the movement: the glow of the stage lights on a tutu, quick lines that catch a dancer mid-gesture, and the soft surface of his pastels translated into paint. Because each canvas is painted by hand, every copy is slightly different. Stretching and framing are done in our workshop in Slovenia, and you choose how the painting is sent: rolled, stretched on a wooden stretcher ready to hang, or framed. Before dispatch we send you a photograph of the finished painting, and if something is not right, we correct it before the painting is sent.<\/p>\n

Edgar Degas in brief<\/h2>\n

Edgar Degas was born on 19 July 1834 in Paris into a banking family. He trained as a classical history painter, then turned to modern life: the ballet, caf\u00e9s, laundresses and the racecourse. He exhibited with the Impressionists, though he preferred to call himself a realist, and he died in Paris on 27 September 1917.

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n

Why did Degas paint so many ballet dancers?<\/h4>\n

The ballet of the Paris Op\u00e9ra gave him what he was looking for: bodies in movement, artificial light and moments behind the scenes. He painted and drew dancers for more than thirty years, mostly in rehearsal and backstage rather than in performance.<\/p>\n

What does The Absinthe Drinker show, and where is it?<\/h4>\n

It shows a woman and a man sitting in a Paris caf\u00e9, she with a glass of absinthe in front of her, both lost in their own thoughts. Degas painted it in 1875\u201376; the original is in the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay in Paris.<\/p>\n

Which are Degas\u2019s most famous paintings?<\/h4>\n

The best known are his dance scenes \u2013 The Dance Class, Dancers in Pink, Blue Dancers \u2013 together with The Absinthe Drinker, The Bellelli Family and Portrait in a New Orleans Cotton Office. All of these are available in our gallery as hand-painted oil paintings.<\/p>\n

Many of Degas\u2019s dancers are pastels \u2013 do you paint them in oil?<\/h4>\n

Yes. We paint every work, including his pastels, in oil or acrylic on canvas, keeping the composition, the colours and the soft light of the original, so the painting can hang framed or unframed like any oil painting.<\/p>\n

How much does a hand-painted Degas copy cost?<\/h4>\n

Prices start at 108 \u20ac and depend on the painting and the size you choose; every product page lists the price of each size.<\/p>\n

Which size should I choose?<\/h4>\n

Measure the furniture below where the painting will hang and choose a painting about two thirds of its width: above a three-seater sofa that is usually 120 to 160 cm, above a desk or in a hallway 50 to 70 cm. If none of the listed sizes fits, we paint the painting in your size.<\/p>\n

How is the painting sent \u2013 rolled, stretched or framed?<\/h4>\n

As you choose: rolled, stretched on a wooden stretcher and ready to hang, or framed. Stretching and framing are done in our workshop in Slovenia, and the painting is wrapped in protective film and packed in a sturdy box.<\/p>\n

How long does delivery take?<\/h4>\n

Each painting is painted to order, so delivery takes 15 to 45 working days, depending on the size. Before dispatch you receive a photograph of the finished painting.<\/p>\n","link":"https:\/\/svetslik.si\/en\/edgar-degas\/","name":"Edgar Degas","slug":"edgar-degas","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":9801,"meta":[],"menu_order":4,"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nEdgar Degas paintings \u2013 hand-painted reproductions on canvas<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"63 Edgar Degas paintings hand-painted in oil on canvas: ballet dancers, The Absinthe Drinker, Young Spartans Exercising and more.
