Degas L'Étoile (The Star) Dancer Pendant, Edgar Degas, 1878

The Star (L'Étoile,1878) is one of Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas's most famous works. Degas used an elevated point of view for this painting of his most famous painted dancer.

Edgar Degas 19 July 1834 – 27 September 1917) was a French artist famous for his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings. He is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. Regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, he rejected the term, preferring to be called a realist. He was a superb draftsman, and particularly masterly in depicting movement, as can be seen in his rendition of dancers, racecourse subjects and female nudes. His portraits are notable for their psychological complexity and for their portrayal of human isolation.
