General introduction: Here you will find an impression of the about 25 works that were shown by Degas at the 2nd ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1876 (Catalogue numbers: 36-59). Maybe an additional photograph was exibited outside the catalogue, but this is doubtfull. Sometimes the identification of a painting is ‘uncertain’, see. Sometimes to ‘compare’ another picture is given that is (probably) similar to the painting that was exhibited. For explanation of the subscriptions, see. See link for an account. See for the used sources at the bottom of the main page about Edgar Degas. I render the pictures by form and in thematical order. Note: If you double click on the first (of a cluster of) pictures and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. On a smartphone or laptop you can also zoom in. Enjoy!
