"Stage Rehearsal" (French: "Répétition sur scène") is a notable work by the French artist Edgar Degas, created between 1878 and 1879. Degas, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement, is renowned for his depictions of ballet dancers, capturing the behind-the-scenes moments of their rigorous practice sessions and performances. This painting is a quintessential example of his fascination with the world of ballet, showcasing his ability to blend realism with an impressionistic touch.

The composition of "Stage Rehearsal" is dynamic and complex, featuring a group of ballerinas in various stages of preparation and practice on a dimly lit stage. Degas employs a masterful use of light and shadow to create depth and to highlight the dancers' delicate forms and movements. The painting is characterized by its asymmetrical composition, a hallmark of Degas' style, which gives a sense of spontaneity and naturalism to the scene. The figures are arranged in a seemingly casual manner, yet each pose and gesture is meticulously crafted to convey the grace and discipline of the dancers.

Degas' technique in this work involves a combination of oil paint and pastel, allowing him to achieve a rich texture and vibrant color palette. The use of pastels, in particular, adds a softness to the figures, enhancing the ethereal quality of the dancers' tutus and the atmospheric lighting of the stage. The attention to detail in the dancers' costumes and the stage setting reflects Degas' deep observation and appreciation of the ballet world.

"Stage Rehearsal" is not just a depiction of a moment in a ballet rehearsal; it is a study of movement, light, and the human form. It captures the ephemeral beauty of dance and the dedication of the dancers, making it a significant piece in Degas' oeuvre and in the broader context of 19th-century art. This painting is housed in the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University, where it continues to be admired for its artistic brilliance and its insight into the world of ballet.
