Synopsis:

Edgar Degas is regarded, above all, as a painter of the human figure and of city life, and yet both his early notebooks and the practice of his later years attest to his consistent interest in landscape painting. In tracing Degas's response to landscape, including, most notably, his visits to the small resort of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, in Picardy, and in closely analysing his painterly practice, this book reassesses the importance of landscape painting to his career. By revealing Degas's little-known love of this genre, it challenges our assumptions about one of the giants of Impressionist art.

From the Publisher: Reassesses the importance of landscape in Degas’s work

Beautifully designed, sumptuously illustrated and accessibly written

An ideal gift book for all lovers of French Impressionism and anyone interested in landscape art
