Painting Description
"Race Horses" is a painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, created in 1885-1888. This work is part of Degas's broader exploration of horse racing, a theme that captivated him throughout his career. Degas was known for his fascination with movement and his studies of horses, and he frequently visited the racetracks to observe the animals and their riders. "Race Horses" is an example of Degas's innovative approach to composition and his use of color to convey the dynamism of the racetrack.
The painting features a group of racehorses with their jockeys, presumably before or after a race, as they are being led by stable boys. The scene is set against a backdrop that suggests the location is a racetrack, with hints of the grandstands and the hustle and bustle typical of such settings. Degas's interest in capturing the essence of the moment is evident in the way he portrays the horses and figures, with a sense of immediacy and a snapshot-like quality that was influenced by the advent of photography.
"Race Horses" is executed in oil on canvas, measuring approximately 66 x 81 cm. It is part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the Impressionist movement and its unique perspective on the world of horse racing. The painting is notable for its loose brushwork, characteristic of Degas's later style, and its ability to convey the sense of movement and the atmosphere of the racetrack through strategic use of color and light.
As with many of Degas's works, "Race Horses" reflects the artist's interest in modern life and his desire to depict contemporary subjects. It stands as a testament to Degas's skill in rendering the complexities of motion and the vibrancy of the scenes that he observed, making it an important work within the artist's oeuvre and a valuable piece for understanding the evolution of 19th-century painting.
