The Rehearsal - Degas

Degas painting is a wonderful interpretation of life by using warm and bright colors. The Rehearsal is a great piece of work with great detail. You may note the detail in the corners of the room.

There are a number of important

details in The Rehearsal. For example, if you look closely not all of the girls are dancing together.

The girls are all dressed in big dresses and big hair. There is a piano player in the bottom right

hand corner.

Degas used the elements of depth and line to create an effective painting. The Rehearsal has a flow and airiness to it. The floor boards looked used and worn. The three big windows that Degas used helped the light shine into the room giving an airiness to the room. The girls that are dancing look like a porcelain doll.

Degas’ brilliance lay in his ability to take a setting and make it interesting. The calmness and serenely for me is the most striking emotion in this painting. I like the realism that was used. It helps the painting’s airiness some out. Its nice because it doesn’t make you think about what things are.

The Rehearsal was thought out well, this panting is a wonderfully contrast of color. Degas painted is greatly detailed warm colors and is vary special.
