Bronze Little Dancer Aged Fourteen Statue Replica – Degas Ballerina Sculpture

Bring one of the most celebrated ballerina sculptures into your interior with the Bronze Little Dancer Aged Fourteen Statue Replica. Inspired by the famous artwork created by Edgar Degas, this bronze sculpture combines artistic history, graceful movement, and timeless decorative appeal for homes, offices, and art collections.

At the sixth impressionist exhibition in the spring of 1881, Edgar Degas presented the only sculpture that he would ever exhibit in public. The Little Dancer Aged Fourteen, the title given by the artist, has become one of the most beloved works of art, well known through the many bronze casts produced from this unique original statuette following the artist's death.

The sculpture was not so warmly received when she first appeared. The critics protested almost unanimously that she was ugly, but had to acknowledge the work's astonishing realism as well as its revolutionary nature. Marie van Goethem, the model for the figure, was the daughter of a Belgian tailor and a laundress; her working-class background was typical of the Paris Opera school's ballerinas.

These dancers were known as "petits rats de l'opéra," literally opera rats, presumably because of their scurrying around the opera stage in tiny, fast-moving steps. The Little Dancer is a very poignant, deeply felt work of art in which a little girl of fourteen, despite the difficult position in which she is placed, both physically and psychologically, struggles for a measure of dignity. Her head is held high, though her arms and hands are uncomfortably stretched behind her back.

In the context of the evolution of sculpture, the Little Dancer is a groundbreaking work of art. The liberating idea that any medium or technique necessary to convey the desired effect is fair game may be traced back to this sculpture. Degas represented a working-class subject with realism and compassion, capturing with brilliant simplicity the difficult tension between art and life.

This sculpture is made of bronze and features a marble base. During the production of these bronze sculptures, a high level of quality is maintained through traditional production methods.
