EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artist Edgar Degas in his iconic top hat, captured by Marcellin-Gilbert Desboutin in 1876. The portrait exudes a sense of mystery and sophistication as Degas stands with one hand on his hip, displaying an air of confidence. His posture reflects both strength and vulnerability, revealing the complexity of his artistic genius. Desboutin's engraving technique beautifully captures the intricate details of Degas' clothing, particularly his coat and hat. The drypoint method used adds depth to the image, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. This artwork represents a significant moment in art history as it belongs to the post-impressionist movement that emerged during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this striking portrayal, we are transported back in time to France where Degas resided throughout his career. Known for his contributions to impressionism, Degas was not only a painter but also an engraver himself. This particular piece pays homage to their shared passion for artistry. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this portrait serves as a testament to Degas' lasting legacy within the art world. It offers us a glimpse into the life and persona of one of history's most influential artists while showcasing Desboutin's talent as an engraver. With every glance at this remarkable print, we are reminded of the profound impact that these two individuals have had on shaping our understanding and appreciation for art today.
