Edgar Degas was a French artist known for his contributions to the Impressionist movement. He was born on July 19, 1834, in Paris, France, and died on September 27, 1917, in the same city.Degas initially studied law but decided to pursue his passion for art and enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He developed a diverse range of artistic skills, including painting, drawing, sculpture, and printmaking. While he is often associated with the Impressionist movement, Degas considered himself a realist and preferred to be known as such.Degas's subject matter primarily focused on scenes of modern life, particularly depicting the world of ballet dancers, horse racing, and everyday people in urban environments. He captured the fleeting moments and movement of his subjects, often emphasizing the effects of light and shadow.One of Degas's most iconic subjects was ballet dancers. He explored their grace, poise, and the rigorous training they undergo. Degas's fascination with the human figure and his ability to capture subtle gestures and expressions made his depictions of dancers incredibly popular.Degas's artistic style was characterized by his experimental techniques and innovative use of materials. He explored various mediums, including oil painting, pastels, and monotypes, and he often combined different techniques to create dynamic and textured surfaces.While Degas shared some techniques and subject matter with the Impressionists, he also had his own unique approach. He preferred indoor settings, where he could control the lighting and composition, and he meticulously planned his artworks, sometimes making numerous sketches and studies before executing the final piece.In addition to his paintings, Degas also made significant contributions to sculpture. His sculptures, often cast in bronze, depicted dancers, horses, and other subjects, and he explored movement and form in three-dimensional space.Degas's work was not always appreciated during his lifetime, as he did not adhere strictly to the techniques and principles of the Impressionist movement. However, his art gained recognition in later years, and he became widely celebrated as one of the key figures of Impressionism.Today, Edgar Degas's artworks are highly regarded and can be found in major museums and collections around the world. His influence on the art world, particularly in his exploration of movement, composition, and the human figure, continues to inspire artists to this day.Measures 30 x 22.

Giambologna, whose real name was Jean Boulogne (1529-1608), was a Flemish-Italian sculptor known for his remarkable skill in creating dynamic and intricate sculptures. One of his notable works is the "Medici Walking Horse," also known as the "Florentine Horse and Rider" or "Equestrian Monument of Cosimo I."The "Medici Walking Horse" is a bronze sculpture created by Giambologna between 1570 and 1580. It was commissioned by Cosimo I de' Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, to commemorate his achievements and celebrate the Medici family's power and influence.The sculpture depicts a powerful, muscular horse captured in mid-stride, with its front legs in the air and its hind legs extended. The horse exudes a sense of energy and movement, its mane flowing, and its tail lifted. It stands on an oval base adorned with reliefs representing military triumphs.Originally, the horse was intended to have an equestrian rider, but due to financial constraints, Giambologna left the sculpture unfinished in terms of the rider. Nevertheless, the "Medici Walking Horse" remains a masterpiece in its own right, showcasing Giambologna's skill in capturing the dynamic anatomy and naturalistic details of the horse.The sculpture is celebrated for its exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail, with every muscle and sinew meticulously rendered. It is considered a prime example of Mannerist sculpture, characterized by its elongated proportions, complex poses, and intricate surface textures.The "Medici Walking Horse" is housed in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance. It stands as a testament to Giambologna's mastery of sculpture and his contributions to the Renaissance and Mannerist art movements.Bonded bronze, sculpture.Measures 10.5 x 9.5 x 3.5.Hand patinated.
