The Famous Ballet Paintings of Pierre Carrier Belleuse

Pierre Carrier Belleuse was born in Paris in 1851. While many paintings by the artist feature landscape scenes and nude art, he is best known for his beautiful ballerina paintings.

Pierre Carrier Belleuse's famous ballet paintings include "Whisper of Love," painted in 1894, which forms part of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville collection, and "Le Danseuse," painted in 1897. Famous nude paintings by the artist include La Premier Pose and The Bared Girl under an Umbrella, an oil on canvas painting completed in 1890.

In 2023, Backstage at the Ballet achieved a much higher sale price than anticipated. As a result, ballerina paintings by Carrier Belleuse are in increasing demand.

The artist was one of four sons born to Albert Ernest Carrier Belleuse, who was employed at the Sèvres Porcelain factory, but he was also a sculptor. All three of Pierre Carrier Belleuse's siblings became accomplished artists in their own right.

Who is Pierre Carrier Belleuse?

The French artist leaves a lasting legacy on the art world with his exquisite paintings of ballet dancers. His famous paintings of ballerinas with their colorful brushstrokes bring to life the beauty and emotion of ballet and the world of dance.

Pierre Carrier Belleuse studied at the École des Beaux-Arts under the tutelage of Alexandre Cabanel. He exhibited at the 1875 Salon in Paris and the 1898 Exposition Universelle (The Paris Exposition).

While he is less well-known than Edgar Degas, another famous French artist who also painted ballerinas, Carrier-Belleuse's paintings share similarities with Degas' ballerina paintings. Both Belleuse and Edgar Degas reveal their unique style. Edgar Degas' Impressionist paintings of the ballet are iconic.

While most of Pierre Carrier Belleuse's paintings are in private art collections, others have been acquired by some of the world's most prestigious museums, including the Smithsonian.
