Did Edgar Degas have Stargardt disease?

Renowned French painter Edgar Degas suffered of progressive light sensitivity and blurred central vision in both eyes, which affected his life and art in many ways. A first cousin from his mother's side, Estelle Musson of New Orleans also lost vision in a similar fashion at a comparable age. We postulated that Edgar and Estelle shared the same retinal pathology that possibly developed in a hereditary fashion, and we were interested whether any of their living family descendants might carry mutations to test the possibility that Edgar Degas may have had Stargardt disease.

A Hidden Portrait by Edgar Degas.

The preservation and understanding of cultural heritage depends increasingly on in-depth chemical studies. Rapid technological advances are forging connections between scientists and arts communities, enabling revolutionary new techniques for non-invasive technical study of culturally significant, highly prized artworks. We have applied a non-invasive, rapid, high definition X-ray fluorescence (XRF) elemental mapping technique to a French Impressionist painting using a synchrotron radiation source, and show how this technology can advance scholarly art interpretation and preservation.
