Biography of Edgar Degas. Early life. Degas was born in Paris, France, the eldest of five children of CÃ©lestine Musson De Gas and Augustin De Gas, a banker. The family was moderately wealthy. At age eleven, Degas (as a young man he abandoned the more pretentious spelling of the family name) began his schooling with enrollment in the LycÃ©e Louis-le-Grand, graduating in 1853 with a baccalaurÃ©at in literature. Degas began to paint seriously early in his life. By eighteen he had turned a room in his home into an artist's studio, and had begun making copies in the Louvre, but his father expected him to go to law school.
