As a ballerina, and art enthusiast I thought his travels and view showed his darkness through his art. It is linear, but I truly think it more likely than the, “Jack the Ripper is the Prince of England theory”.
I am going to school for forensic psychology and behavioral sciences. I felt crazy because I had studied him for a bit due to his obsession with ballet and human anatomy, but with the lack of connection and hyper logical thinking at the time, I threw the thoughts away. This is a very interesting theory and concept. Good work at challenging the status quo! I hope I can work up to your level of bravery one day. Every field needs more people like you! It should be looked into from a professional standpoint in my opinion. Edgar had a lot of precursors to criminal behavior, as well as clear signs to watch out for in his young adult and fully developed psyche states. He was a very intelligent man who was able to manipulate both people and situations, and that is shown in his artwork. The societal impacts at the time to see if he was aware of how his art was being perceived would be worth looking into. If it was healing to the community, then it is unlikely; if he didn't care or got enjoyment out of making others uncomfortable, that is a different story. Depending on his upbringing they may be leaning towards either Cluster B. In certain cases disassociative disorders or Schizoid variants, if they had violent traumas or personalities within. Thank you for putting your thoughts out there. Your knowledge on the art subject is very different to my passions and it is refreshing yet similar. ☯️
This is a perplexing example of Russel's teapot theory... it puts the burden of proof to disprove instead of explicitly prove that he did it. I have no love for Degas but couldn't you do this with practically anybody else who lived at the time?
@@SchirrGenius There was plenty of creepy men then, just as now. However I am glad we live in a world where the burden of proof for crime is more than just 'creepy.' And again... no love for Degas. He was a man who supported the confederate south, had horrible chauvinistic views of women and girls and was a violent antisemite. I don't think making totally unsubstantiated claims about him is good because it makes talking about the things he did do even harder. I would also say that just like every conspiracy theory, the truth is worse. Gauguin did awful, awful things to Tahitian girls and the paintings he made of his victims hang in the best museums in the world.
There are quite a few people named as Jack the ripper that also have alibis that also fall short and could be very viable, she is just making an educated observation from her view... it was 1888-1891 there's no way to prove anything from that time, and it does nothing to their reputation because there is no proof... this lovely lady is opening the expanse of your thoughts and offering a viable opinion and research to back it up, no reason to try and shut her down. Unless you just don't want to listen to her opinion... in which case SCROLL ON, no one made you watch
@@mommameg85 I am sorry to hear that you think I am being rude to the original poster. I assume they have shared their theory because they wanted to discuss it in a public setting. I have just shared my opinion like many others in the comments.
@@nightlyterrorspeculating on who Jack the Ripper is, has always been a thing. It’s exciting. Get over yourself keyboard warrior. Go plant a tree or something. Something useful.

Not everyone is as creepy as Degas.
