"Jockey Blessé" (English: "Injured Jockey") is a notable work by the French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1866. This painting reflects Degas's early interest in horses and horse racing, a theme that would become central to his oeuvre. The artwork captures a moment of tension and concern, depicting a jockey who has presumably fallen from his horse and is now injured, a subject that diverges from the more traditional depictions of horse racing's glamour and excitement.

Edgar Degas, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement, was known for his exploration of movement and his studies of human anatomy under strain, elements that are evident in "Jockey Blessé." The painting's composition, with its dynamic lines and expressive brushwork, conveys the immediacy of the scene and reflects the artist's mastery in portraying the physicality of his subjects.

The work is executed in oil on canvas, a medium Degas skillfully used to render the textures and nuances of the racetrack environment. The color palette is subdued, with an emphasis on earthy tones that suggest the dust and grit of the racetrack, while the use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect of the scene.

"Jockey Blessé" is part of a larger body of work by Degas that examines the world of horse racing, including the behind-the-scenes activities of the jockeys and horses, as well as the spectacle of the races themselves. This painting, in particular, offers a poignant glimpse into the risks and physical demands faced by jockeys, serving as a testament to Degas's interest in the less romanticized aspects of this sport.

The painting is held in a private collection, and its exhibition history and provenance contribute to its significance in the study of Degas's artistic development and the broader context of 19th-century French art. "Jockey Blessé" remains an important work for scholars and enthusiasts of Degas, offering insight into the artist's thematic interests and his innovative approach to capturing the essence of modern life.
