Degas

Paperweight La Danseuse Sur Scène Degas

The ideal gift for lovers of art and culture who need inspiration, in the shape of a dome and in glass with different relief

Danseuse sur Scène (1877)

Degas developed an interest in ballet at an early age and in 1872 he made his first studies of ballet dancers. 

He avoided the true drama, the performance itself. Like he pictured the words of the horseracer before and after the race, he showed what happened behind the scenes in the ballet world of l'Opera. 

He chose subte, apparently random compositions and painted them with an unexpected approach.

The sight of the painter Degas weakened at the age of fifty, he was forced to rely more and more on his touch, and he found the solution in sculpture. Although he did not show his works to almost anyone in the last period of his life, he decided all the same, after having worked for two years on the realization of the Little Dancer, to send it to the exhibition of the Impressionists in Paris.
