On 8 May, the Glyptotek opens a new exhibition centred on Edgar Degas’ enigmatic painting Dancers Practising in the Foyer and the research that has recently led to a proposed revised dating of the work. Degas’ Obsession delves into this single painting, exploring its history and its significance in understanding Degas’ artistic practice. Ballet scenes were a central theme in Edgar Degas’ career, yet Dancers Practising in the Foyer has long been difficult to place in relation to his other ballet paintings. The painting is immediately puzzling—seemingly not finished, with very unevenly applied paint layers, drastically different tones and a dominant shadow from a partially overpainted figure. These unexplained visual mysteries sparked what became an an extensive research project led by art historian Dr. Line Clausen Pedersen, in a collaboration between the Glyptotek and the Getty in Los Angeles.

The night is a joint celebration of St. John the Baptist, who is said to have been born on June 24, and the shortest night of the year. Traditionally, the night is celebrated with bonfires, speeches, and the singing of the Danish midsummer song "We Love Our Country" ("Vi Elsker Vort Land"), written in 1885 by Danish poet Holger Drakeman. The top of the bonfire is sometimes decorated with a straw witch. Legend has it that when the witch is burned, she flies to Bloxberg in Germany, where witches are said to meet.
