The circus scenes, so in vogue in the early twentieth century, became a key motif in the extensive artistic imagination of many artists. Previously, great masters such as Edgar Degás, George Seurat or Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec turned their attention to this eccentric spectacle, immortalizing in their canvases the bohemian and free life, far from social conventions, that surrounded the circus world.
