"Jockeys" is a notable series of artworks by the French artist Edgar Degas, who is widely regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, though he preferred to be called a realist. Degas was born in 1834 and had a long, prolific career until his death in 1917. Throughout his life, Degas had a profound interest in movement and dynamic scenes, which is vividly reflected in his various depictions of horse racing, a modern and popular entertainment in 19th-century France.

The "Jockeys" series encompasses a range of mediums, including oil paintings, pastels, and sketches, showcasing Degas's versatile skill set and his experimental approach to art. These works were created during the latter half of the 19th century, a period when Degas was increasingly fascinated by themes of movement, speed, and the study of horses and their riders. This interest was not only a reflection of his personal passions but also an exploration of modern life and the changing landscapes of the industrial age.

Degas's "Jockeys" are celebrated for their vivid depiction of the horse racing world, capturing the intense moments before, during, and after the race. Unlike traditional equestrian portraits that often idealized the subject, Degas's work focused on realism and the candid moments of the race, including the tension, excitement, and sometimes the mundanity of the scenes. His use of color, light, and composition brought a sense of immediacy and movement, making the viewer feel as if they are part of the action.

One of the distinguishing features of Degas's approach to the "Jockeys" series was his innovative use of perspective and cropping, influenced by photography and Japanese prints. This allowed him to create dynamic compositions that broke away from traditional formats, offering new ways of viewing and experiencing the subject matter.

The "Jockeys" series not only highlights Degas's fascination with the horse racing world but also contributes to our understanding of his broader interests in capturing the essence of modern life and his continuous exploration of the possibilities of art. Today, these works are held in high esteem and can be found in various prestigious art institutions worldwide, continuing to captivate audiences with their timeless appeal and innovative approach to depicting movement and the human experience.
