Edgar Degas
Being a big art enthusiast I was amazed to find the level of MSC has gone to to bring real fine art on a ship. Degas is a favourite French impressionist artist famous for his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings. These can be found in museums and galleries all over the world. He is especially known for the subject of dance and ballet and almost half of his works depict dancers. Degas is regarded as one of the founders of the impressionist art movement.
Where can I see the Edgas Degas art on the Grandiosa?
The MSC Grandiosa will have 26 original Edgar Degas drawings on display in the L’Atelier Bistrot.
The drawings will be housed in a purpose-built installation within the Bistro in the heart of the ship. The Danse Dessin series presents studies of movement and dance and they have been previously exhibited in major international galleries and museums.
Degas’ work encapsulates the soul of romantic Paris with ballet and movement being the main focus. This will also fit in within the setting of the new French Bistro on board MSC Grandiose. Alongside the drawings there will be an immersive experience for guests which will include five videos detailing the life and work of Degas’
