July 1856 – 1859
Three years in Italy
In July 1856 Degas left for Italy, where he stayed for three years. He copied Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian but, contrary to convention, usually picked out of an altarpiece a detail that caught his eye — a secondary figure or a head that he treated as a portrait.
1861
The first studies of horses
Visiting his childhood friend Paul Valpinçon, Degas made the earliest of his many studies of horses.
1862–1864
Meets Édouard Manet
Manet introduced Degas to the circle of future Impressionists. Degas shared their rejection of the academic Salon but would not work in the open air.
