The Dance Foyer at the Opera on the rue Le Peletier
„The Dance Foyer at the Opera
on the rue Le Peletier” is a painting
painted by Egar Degas in 1872. It’s the type of hystorical painting. Right now
the painting is located in Musée d’Orsay.
On the first plan we can see a
furnishing- chair made od light wood. Looking at the chair we can perceive a
red fan and something that looks like turquoise fabric.
The artist showed the light in the
room perfectly. The colors of walls are warm and they make contrast with
ballerinas’ dresses.
On the second plan we see two
ballerinas in beautiful turquoise dresses. On of them- probably starts to
practice some kind of ballet figure, her hair are dark brown and pulled into a
bun. Her look is finished with some black ribbons on her back and light pink
ballet shoes.
The second ballerina has lighter
hair pulled up in a ponytail, turquoise dress with dark green and red ribbons
and also light pink ballet shoes.
She sits on a chair and looks like
she is streching up. If we’ll look closer we can perceive that she’s wearing
dark earings.
On the background, there is a dark
haired man that wears a light suit. He is probably the director of the opera
and he looks after the ballerinas. The man holds a birch cane in his right
hand, he shows something for one of the dancers with hand gestures. Another man
dressed in some darker clothes sits behind him. He also holds some kind of a
baton in his hand.
Behind the men we can see a ton of
dancing ballerinas dressed just like the ones on the second plan. Some of them
are practicing and streching, others are just dancing. They all have colorful
ribbons on their backs. If we’ll see closer we can observe another ballerina on
the left, dancing behind the open doors.
My Opinion:
I think the painting „The Dance Foyer at
the Opera on the rue Le Peletier” by Egar
Degas is absolutely gorgerous and it would look perfect in my leaving room ;)
