When Degas made this picture in 1871, Giacomo Meyerbeer’s opera Robert le Diable was forty years old and feeling its age—as reflected by the man at center, indifferent to the action and directing his binoculars at the audience. But Degas was fond of the opera, and particularly of the scene depicted here, from the third act, in which nuns arise from the dead and dance seductively amid the ruins of a moonlit monastery. The painting was exhibited in early 1872, the date inscribed on the canvas; Degas later executed a larger version (Victoria and Albert Museum, London) for Jean-Baptiste Faure, who starred in the opera.

A canvas creates a typical impression of three dimensionality. A canvas print has the advantage of being low in weight, which means that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without the help of extra wall-mounts. Hence, canvas prints are suitable for all types of walls in your house.
• The glossy acrylic glass print (with real glass coating on top): The print on acrylic glass, which is sometimes named as a fine art print on plexiglass, will transform the artwork into décor. The artwork is manufactured with the help of state-of-the-art UV direct print machines. The effect of this are vivid and deep colors. The great benefit of a plexiglass print is that sharp contrasts and also small image details will be exposed because of the fine gradation.
