Edgar Degas was born on July 19, 1834, in Paris and worked as a painter and sculptor. Although his paintings are often categorized as Impressionist, they are distinguished by their linearity and composition. His favored subjects were portraits, as well as ballet, horses, jockeys, Parisian nightlife, and women at their toilette. He painted with pastels and oils but also employed other graphic techniques.
Degas grew up as the eldest of five children in a well-to-do family. Following his father's wishes, who owned a family bank, Degas initially studied law but soon abandoned it to pursue an artistic career. His father supported him with a studio of his own. Degas took lessons from Louis Lamothe, a student of Ingres, and briefly attended the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1855. He continued his education independently by drawing reliefs and Old Masters in Parisian museums.
In 1856, like many artists, he undertook a study trip to Italy, where he drew extensively and only returned to Paris in 1859. There, he devoted himself to history painting. Due to moderate success in this genre, he began to focus more on themes of Parisian life. During this period, he was supported by his experienced colleague Édouard Manet and other modern artists and writers like Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Émile Zola. Edmond Duranty, a French writer and art critic, had a significant influence on Degas's further artistic development.
In 1874, Degas, along with other artists, organized a series of exhibitions aimed at breaking the monopoly of the Paris Salon, which later became known as the Impressionist Exhibitions.
As early as the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, Degas had complained of an eye condition that worsened over the years, so much so that by 1908 he created his last pastels and drawings and focused solely on sculptures. He spent his last years almost blind and isolated at his niece's home before passing away from a cerebral hemorrhage on September 27, 1917.
