Principal roles were Eugénie Fiocre, the subject of Degas’ painting, Guglielmina Salvioni, and Louis Mérante. The ballet La Source (The Spring) was composed by Delibes and Minkus, with choreography by Arthur Saint-Léon, and received its world première at the ballet of the Paris Opera on 12 November 1866. This complex cross-genre work was a product of the artist’s intention to paint ‘modern life’, and his previous history painting. The theme of the ballet first appeared in Degas’ Portrait of Mlle Fiocre in the Ballet ‘La Source’, which he painted in about 1867-68. Edgar Degas (1834–1917), Portrait of Mlle Fiocre in the Ballet ‘La Source’ (c 1867-68), oil on canvas, Brooklyn Museum, New York, NY. As I have shown, Degas was the first painter to devote any real attention to the ballet, and inspired others to do the same. This overwhelming obsession with dance did not develop until the late 1870s, but dominated his work through the 1880s and on into some of his last paintings. About half of Edgar Degas’ lifetime output is of drawings and paintings of the ballet and its dancers.

Huckleberry finn book cover5/10/2023 Often referred to as one of Twain’s most complete pieces of satire of the American South and its inhabitants, the novel is a direct sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and was one of the first novels to incorporate regional language and dialect into the narrative and dialogue.īut perhaps one of the novel’s most interesting aspects is the physical book itself, or rather the handful of early, rare, and illustrated editions that somehow manage to elevate this famed literary work. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn chronicles the title character’s fortunes and friendships in Missouri and neighboring states along the Mississippi River. But long before these classic novels helped redefine what is meant by the ‘great American novel,’ Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn defined the term in such a way that the novel is still regarded today as perhaps one of the most seminal works in the American literary landscape.įirst published in the United States in 1885 -the novel was actually released in December 1884 in the U.K. When you hear the phrase ‘great American novel,’ a few titles immediately jump to mind.
