Even though he’d longed to visit his departed mother’s birthplace his entire life, Edgar Degas didn’t make it to New Orleans until he was on the cusp of forty. He found the Crescent City wracked with post–Civil War devastation even as his brother plunged the family toward bankruptcy and scandal. But in the midst of turmoil, Degas still found inspiration. Indeed, Degas’ dramatic time in New Orleans led him on a new path in his work: Impressionism. Authors Rory O’Neill Schmitt and Rosary O’Neill explore the relatively brief but consequential New Orleans interlude in the life of Edgar Degas.
