德加表現芭蕾舞場景的作品甚多，他以她們的舞姿為媒介，通過對舞女的造型描繪表現出強烈的燈光反射效果。這幅《舞臺上的舞女》，舞臺布景與綠色的舞臺地板襯托著強光下身著白紗的舞女，顯得那么的虛無縹緲、絢麗變幻，光線與色彩組成了一個絕美的世界~

　　Edgar Degas is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism. A superb draftsman, he is especially identified with the subject of dance, and over half of his works depict dancers or ballerinas. These display his mastery in the depiction of movement.
