Edgar Degas Oil Painting Reproductions

Bringing the Motion of Edgar Degas into Your Home This collection of hand-painted degas paintings brings the vibrant energy of 19th-century Paris directly to your walls. Edgar Degas was a French artist associated with Impressionism, an art movement that captured fleeting moments of light and modern life. ¹ More than half of his works depict dancers, capturing the physical strain and grace of the ballet. ¹

From Paris Studios to New Orleans in 1872 Unlike his contemporaries like Claude Monet or Pierre-Auguste Renoir who painted outdoors, Degas always worked indoors in his studio. ¹ He preferred to be called a realist rather than an Impressionist. ¹ His travels also shaped his vision; he even stayed in New Orleans in 1872. ¹ Before focusing on modern dancers, his early work included historical scenes like his 1865 exhibition piece about the Middle Ages. ¹

Choosing Your Degas Canvas and Size Each reproduction is hand-painted in oil on museum-grade linen, brushstroke by brushstroke, with optional framing. Prices start at $350, depending on the dimensions you select. Seven sizes are listed for each work, but you can easily commission any custom size or original proportion through our special order page.

Masterpieces of the Ballet and Daily Life When choosing a piece for your home, consider the mood of the room. You might prefer the quiet, social tension of The Absinthe Drinker, painted in 1876. ¹ For a brighter space, the classic composition of The Ballet Class brings beautiful movement. ¹ We also offer his striking Main Image to complete your collection.

The 1874 Transition to Professional Success In 1874, Degas became dependent on selling his art for income, which sparked a decade of his greatest work. ¹ He painted more ballet scenes because they sold well and brought in needed money. ¹ Several of these masterpieces are featured in our curated selection of history's finest art, including his 1888 work Dancers at the Bar. ¹

These works are highly valued today, but you can enjoy them as hand-painted recreations. Many of his most popular scenes are also listed among the world's most recognized paintings. You can start your journey with his famous Ballet Rehearsal, which is preserved in Cambridge. ¹
