It is an image so familiar to me that I have never really actually thought about it, so I found your commentary on it deeply informative. Thank you!
A few years ago, my wife and I watched the excellent fictional TV drama series "L'Opéra" - about dancers at the Palais Garnier. When we visited Paris a year or two later we attended a ballet performance there - an unforgettable experience!
Thank you so much, Dave ! I'm really pleased that the article gave you a fresh perspective on such a familiar painting. And what a wonderful memory — to attend a ballet at the Palais Garnier after watching L'Opéra. That must have been a very special experience. Thank you for sharing it !
Merci pour votre retour, Myrtille, en espérant que cet article donne envie à tous les lecteurs de se replonger dans la carrière très dense de ce peintre qui a touché aussi bien aux pastels, qu'à la sculpture en passant par la gravure. Il y a de multiples sources d'informations sur sa carrière sur le net et sur des thèmes différents (les champs de course, etc) !
Such a famous, and beautiful, painting...
