Edgar Degas (1834–1917) was a French artist best known for his paintings, pastels, and sculptures depicting dancers, café scenes, and everyday life in late 19th-century Paris. Although often associated with the Impressionists, Degas preferred to call himself a realist and was especially admired for his mastery of composition, movement, and draftsmanship. Born in Paris in 1834, he studied classical art traditions before developing a distinctive modern style characterized by unusual perspectives and careful observation of human motion. His ballet scenes, in particular, became iconic for their combination of elegance and candid realism, while his experimentation with pastel and sculpture expanded the expressive possibilities of modern art. Degas remained an influential figure in French art until his death in 1917.
