EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Henri Degas and His Niece Lucie Degas" captures a tender moment between the renowned artist and his young relative. Taken in 1875/76, this 19th-century masterpiece showcases the deep bond shared by Henri Degas, Edgar Degas' uncle, and Lucie Degas, his cousin. The image portrays an intimate domestic scene within a French household. Both subjects are seated on elegant furniture, with Henri comfortably settled in a chair while Lucie sits beside him. Their direct gazes towards the camera reveal their close connection and invite viewers to glimpse into their world. Edgar Degas expertly employs color to bring life to this oil painting on canvas. The warm tones create a cozy atmosphere that envelops these two figures as they engage with each other. As an impressionist artist himself, Edgar skillfully captures the play of light and shadow within the interior space. Lucie's presence as both an orphaned child and artists' model adds depth to this portrait. It reflects not only her role within the family but also highlights how art played a significant part in their lives. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's gallery or art center, this artwork is a testament to Edgar Degas' mastery as he immortalizes his beloved uncle and cousin through paintbrush strokes. This heritage piece serves as a poignant reminder of familial connections transcending time and capturing moments that resonate across generations.
