The Human Body in 19th Century French Art with Tutor Dr Angela Jianu

The dancing body is one among a multitude of representations of the human body in art.

This course situates Degas’ dancers in the context of images of the human body in the works of Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Gustave Caillebotte, Paul Gauguin, Puvis de Chavannes and Edgar Degas himself.

These artworks picture the human body at work and play and are important documentary sources for Parisian live in the period and, more broadly, for the social and cultural history of France.
