Painting Description
"Study of the Head of a Young Singer, after Della Robbia" is a notable artwork by the French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1856-1858. This work is an early example of Degas's exploration into the human form and portraiture, which would become central themes throughout his career. The piece is a study that reflects Degas's interest in the Italian Renaissance, specifically the works of Luca della Robbia, a 15th-century sculptor known for his glazed terracotta sculptures.
The study depicts the head of a young singer, showcasing Degas's skill in capturing the subtleties of facial expression and the play of light on the subject's features. The work is executed with a delicate touch, indicative of Degas's academic training and his mastery of drawing techniques. Although Degas is more commonly associated with scenes of Parisian life, ballet dancers, and the racetrack, "Study of the Head of a Young Singer, after Della Robbia" provides insight into his artistic development and his engagement with the art of the past.
The artwork serves as an example of Degas's early style, which was heavily influenced by the classical art that he studied during his formative years, including his time at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and his travels in Italy. It also prefigures the innovative approaches to composition and form that would characterize his later work.
"Study of the Head of a Young Singer, after Della Robbia" is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical context, as it reflects the academic art practices of the mid-19th century and the period's reverence for Renaissance art. The piece is a testament to Degas's lifelong dedication to the study of art and his ability to assimilate and reinterpret the influences of previous art movements.
As of the knowledge cutoff date, the current location or ownership of this artwork is not specified, and further details regarding its provenance and critical reception may be limited.
