Framed Ballet Art

Ballet is one of the most romantic and artistic dances ever made. Born in Italy during the Renaissance, ballet soon made its way to the high courts of France and Russia, who elevated into the art form that it is today. Their patronage definitely helped this special dance spread all over the world. It would only make sense that this art also seeped in as inspiration for many framed ballet paintings of that time, and even now.

There are endless examples offramed ballet art, but the artist that must have been the most preoccupied with this subject must have been Edgar Degas. Edgar Degas, a skilled impressionist era artist of his own time, has countless numbers of ballet art. “Dancers in Blue,” “Dancers in Violet,”, “Dancing Class”- and the list goes on- each a fascinating example of fine art that portrays the forefront and also what happens backstage in the lives of ballerinas.
