"At the Races" is a series of artworks by the French artist Edgar Degas, who is widely acknowledged for his contributions to the Impressionist movement, although he preferred to be called a realist. Created during the latter half of the 19th century, this series captures the vibrant and dynamic world of horse racing, a popular pastime in Parisian society at the time. Degas's fascination with the subject is evident in the various mediums he employed, including oil paintings, pastels, and drawings.

The artworks within the "At the Races" series are renowned for their innovative composition and the artist's meticulous attention to the depiction of movement and light. Degas often portrayed scenes from unusual angles and perspectives, providing a glimpse into the spectacle of the races beyond the mere sporting event. His work encapsulates the excitement of the crowd, the tension of the gamblers, the elegance of the jockeys, and the muscular agility of the horses.

Degas's interest in photography and his friendship with photographers like Nadar influenced his approach to composition and the snapshot-like quality of some of his racecourse scenes. The series includes notable pieces such as "At the Races in the Countryside" (1869), "At the Races: Before the Start" (1866-1868), and "Jockeys Before the Race" (circa 1882), among others. These works are characterized by their cropped figures, off-center framing, and the sense of immediacy they convey.

The "At the Races" series not only exemplifies Degas's skill and innovation as an artist but also serves as a valuable historical record of 19th-century leisure culture. The artworks are held in various prestigious collections and continue to be celebrated for their artistic and cultural significance. Through this series, Degas contributed a unique and enduring perspective to the canon of sporting art.
