EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture, titled "Fourth Position Front, on the Left Leg" takes us back to the elegance and grace of ballet in the late 19th century. Created by renowned French artist Edgar Degas, this piece beautifully captures a ballerina frozen in time. Standing at an impressive height of 58.4 centimeters, this full-length statue showcases a female dancer in mid-arabesque. With her left leg extended forward and her body slightly tilted, she exudes both strength and poise. The intricate details of her flowing tutu and delicate pointe shoes highlight Degas' meticulous attention to capturing the essence of ballet. Cast between 1919-1921 from an original model dating back to the 1880s, this sculpture is a testament to Degas' enduring fascination with dance as a subject matter. It now resides within the esteemed Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported into a world where movement meets stillness - where passion intertwines with discipline. This sculpture serves as a reminder of the timeless beauty found within classical ballet and pays homage to those who dedicate their lives to mastering its artistry. Whether you are an admirer of dance or simply appreciate fine artistry, "Fourth Position Front" invites you to marvel at its exquisite craftsmanship while celebrating the eternal allure of ballet.
