What is the Etoile (the star of dancing)? - Degas's point of view
"Etoile" is an oil painting painted by the French impressionist painter Edgar Degas between 1876 and 1877. It depicts a ballerina performing at the Paris Opera and is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay. Degas was known as a painter who liked to paint dancers, and he created many paintings of them not only on stage, but also in rehearsals and backstage.
In this work, a spotlight shines on the étoile dancing in the center of the stage, highlighting her dramatic figure. Degas creates a work full of realism by using an angled perspective, as if seen from the wings of the stage, and a composition that boldly cuts away the upper part of the stage. In addition, by effectively using blurring and shadows, he captures a moment of movement and expresses the grace and dynamism of the étoile.
The Star of the Dance (Etoile): The Ballet World of 19th Century Paris
"Etoile" is also interesting as a work that gives us a glimpse into the world of ballet in 19th century Paris. At the time, the Opera House was a social gathering place, and ballerinas were objects of admiration. Degas focuses not only on their glamorous stage performances, but also on their rigorous training and life behind the scenes, depicting the reality as it is.
In "Etoile," the atmosphere behind the scenes is conveyed by depicting dancers waiting in the wings and parts of the stage set. In addition, the costumes and poses of the Etoiles, as well as the gazes of the men in the audience, allow us to imagine the social situation surrounding the ballet world at the time and the position the dancers were placed in.
