During the 19th century, the art movement called Impressionism began. The artists who followed this movement were called Impressionists. The characteristic style of the movement was short and broken strokes that focused on re-creating the effects of light. This method gave the painting or the drawing a luminous, sketch-like appearance. Among the great Impressionists, Edgar Degas was known for his paintings of people. His style was different from other Impressionists who painted landscapes. Degas focused on capturing the vitality of everyday people in each of his paintings. He did so in some of his most recognized paintings of ballet dancers and women. Besides his work with paint, Degas even worked in different mediums such as sculpture. One of his most famous sculptures is The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer. In this sculpture, Degas was able to capture the blossoming of youth in bronze. Although Degas’ subject matter differed from his fellow artists, he still achieved the spirit of Impressionism.
