"Horses and Jockeys" is a series of artworks by the French artist Edgar Degas, who is renowned for his contributions to Impressionism and his fascination with movement and the study of horses. Degas's interest in horses, which began in the 1860s, led him to the racetracks of Paris, where he was captivated by the dynamic forms and the vibrant atmosphere of the races. This subject matter became a recurring theme in his oeuvre, allowing him to explore various aspects of motion, anatomy, and the relationship between humans and animals.

The "Horses and Jockeys" works encompass a range of media, including oil paintings, pastels, and sketches, showcasing Degas's versatility and his experimental approach to composition and color. These pieces often depict scenes from the racetrack, with a focus on the moments before or after a race, rather than the action of the race itself. Degas's treatment of the equine form is notable for its accuracy and his ability to capture the muscular tension and the grace of the horses, as well as the distinctive attire and postures of the jockeys.

Degas's technique in these works is characterized by his use of loose brushstrokes and a subdued palette, which conveys the movement and the fleeting nature of the scenes he portrays. The artist's interest in photography and Japanese prints is also evident in the unconventional cropping and the dynamic angles of perspective in many of these compositions. This innovative approach to framing and viewpoint was influential in the development of modern art and contributed to the evolving narrative of Impressionism.

The "Horses and Jockeys" series not only reflects Degas's personal interest in the equestrian world but also provides a glimpse into the leisure activities of Parisian society in the late 19th century. These works are celebrated for their contribution to the Impressionist movement and for their enduring appeal to audiences who are captivated by the elegance and energy of the racetrack as seen through the eyes of one of the most skilled artists of his time.
