Little Dancer Aged Fourteen
EDITORS COMMENTS
, a masterpiece of French Impressionism by Edgar Degas (1834-1917), captures the essence of youthful energy and innocence. Modeled between 1879-81, this bronze sculpture was cast in 1919-21, showcasing the artist's remarkable attention to detail and mastery over his craft.
The petite ballerina stands tall on wooden base, her bare feet splayed apart in fifth position as if frozen mid-pirouette. Her delicate hands rest behind her back, emphasizing the fluidity of movement while maintaining a sense of stillness. The iconic tutu made from gauze and silk ribbon adds an air of whimsy to this portrait.
Degas' use of bronze allows for subtle nuances in texture and color, as seen on the dancer's skin and clothing. Her dress appears worn but elegant, with folds that seem to ripple like a gentle breeze. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, inviting us to step into her world where dance meets art.
This stunning print from Heritage Images brings "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen" closer than ever before, offering an intimate glimpse into the creative genius of Edgar Degas and his enduring legacy in the world of art.
