EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Paul Valpincon, painted by the renowned artist Edgar Degas in 1855, showcases a young man with an undeniable allure. The oil on canvas print, measuring 40.32 x 32.39 cm, is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. Degas and Valpincon shared a deep bond that began long before their time as classmates in 1846. It was Paul's father, Edouard Valpincon, who played a pivotal role in nurturing Degas' artistic talents by fostering his interest in the works of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, a prominent French neoclassical painter. According to accounts from Paul's daughter, this particular portrait was created when he was just 21 years old. The unfinished bust captures his youthful features and profile with great sensitivity and skill. In this painting, we see a glimpse into the early days of their friendship - two young men embarking on their artistic journeys together. With his blonde hair framing his face delicately and an air of mystery surrounding him, Paul exudes both confidence and vulnerability. This artwork not only serves as a testament to Degas' talent but also stands as a symbol of enduring friendship between two kindred spirits united by their passion for art.
