On stageThis painting by Edgar Degas is called On Stage.

Degas was born in Paris, France, the eldest of five children of Celestine

Musson De Gas, a Creole from New Orleans, and Augustine De Gas, a

banker. The family was moderately wealthy. His mother died when

Degas was thirteen, after which his father and grandfather were the

main influences on his early life. At age eleven, Degas (in adulthood he abandoned the more pretentious

spelling of the family name) began his schooling with enrollment in the Lychee Louis-le-Grand, graduating in

1853 with a baccalaureate in literature.
