"Ballerinas by Edgar Degas" refers to a series of works by the French artist Hilaire-Germain-Edgar De Gas (1834–1917), commonly known as Edgar Degas, who is especially identified with the subject of dance. Degas was a prolific painter, sculptor, and draftsman whose career spanned over 50 years. He is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, although he preferred to be called a realist.

The ballerinas, or "danseuses," featured prominently in Degas's oeuvre from the 1870s until his death, with the artist exploring various aspects of their lives both on and off the stage. His works depict a range of scenes from rehearsals to performances, and from candid moments of rest to the rigorous practice in the dance studio. Degas's fascination with ballet dancers was driven by his interest in capturing movement and the human form in space, as well as the contrasts between the glamour of performance and the often-grueling reality of the dancers' daily routines.

Degas's ballerina paintings are characterized by their innovative composition and technique. He often employed unusual viewpoints and cropping, giving the viewer a sense of being an onlooker or part of the scene. His use of pastels, oils, and mixed media allowed him to achieve remarkable effects of color and light, which added to the vibrancy and dynamism of the scenes depicted.

The ballerinas are also significant for their exploration of modern Parisian life and the role of women in the arts during the late 19th century. Degas's works provide insight into the social and economic dynamics of the Paris Opera Ballet, where many of his subjects were employed. The dancers, often from lower-income backgrounds, are portrayed with a sense of individuality and psychological depth, challenging the more superficial depictions of performers common at the time.

Today, Degas's ballerinas are celebrated for their artistic and historical value. They can be found in major museums around the world and continue to be a subject of scholarly study and popular admiration. These works not only showcase Degas's mastery of form and composition but also offer a window into the world of the Parisian ballet during the Belle Époque.
