Meet Edgar Degas, a French artist who shook the art world with his Impressionist style.

Born in 1834 in Paris, Degas was part of a middle-class family.

Degas' father, Auguste, was a banker and an art lover who encouraged his son's talent.

In 1853, Degas was allowed to make observation drawings at the Louvre, where he was inspired by the works of Raphael, Ingres, and Delacroix.

Degas became friends with Édouard Manet, who shared his disdain for the art establishment and his desire to innovate.

In 1874, Degas participated in the first Impressionist exhibition, where he showcased his portraits of women and dancers.
