EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edgar Degas' masterpiece, "Portraits at the Stock Exchange" created between 1878 and 1879. Housed in the prestigious Musee d'Orsay in Paris, this painting epitomizes the opulence and affluence of late 19th-century France. Degas skillfully captures a scene of wealth and prosperity within the stock exchange. The canvas is adorned with portraits of individuals donning top hats, beaver hats, silk hats, and even chimney pot hats - symbols of high society during that era. These well-to-do figures are surrounded by an abundance of money and riches depicted through a cornucopia overflowing with coins. The artist's impressionistic style adds depth to this genre painting as he masterfully plays with light and shadow to create a sense of richness throughout the composition. Each stroke on the oil canvas exudes luxury and elegance. "Portraits at the Stock Exchange" not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also provides insight into societal values surrounding wealthiness during Degas' time. It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as abundance, prosperity, greed, or perhaps even stinginess hidden beneath layers of affluence. As you gaze upon this remarkable print, allow yourself to be transported back in time to an era when financial powerhouses ruled Parisian society – where fortunes were made or lost within these hallowed walls.
