Edgar Degas (1834–1917) was a French Impressionist painter and sculptor renowned for his masterful depictions of movement, particularly in ballet dancers and everyday Parisian life. With his innovative use of composition, color, and light, he captured fleeting moments with striking realism. His work continues to influence and inspire artists, cementing his place as a visionary of modern art.
