Painting Description
"Racehorses" is a painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, created in 1885-1888. This work is part of a series of paintings, drawings, and sculptures that reflect Degas's interest in the world of horse racing, a popular pastime in 19th-century Parisian society. The painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France.
In "Racehorses," Degas captures the dynamic energy and movement of the racehorses as they prepare for a race. The composition is characterized by its vibrant color palette and the artist's use of loose, expressive brushstrokes, which convey the sense of motion and the excitement of the event. Degas's fascination with the subject is evident in his meticulous attention to the details of the horses' anatomy and the jockeys' attire, as well as the depiction of the surrounding environment.
Edgar Degas (1834-1917) was a prominent Impressionist artist known for his innovative compositions and his exploration of movement. Although he is often associated with scenes of ballet dancers, Degas's interest in horse racing led him to the racetracks of Paris, where he studied the forms and postures of the horses and their riders. His equestrian works, including "Racehorses," are celebrated for their modern approach to a traditional subject and contribute significantly to the understanding of Degas's broader oeuvre.
"Racehorses" exemplifies Degas's departure from the classical representation of horses and his embrace of contemporary life. By focusing on the moments before the race, rather than the race itself, Degas invites viewers to consider the anticipation and preparation involved in the sport. The painting is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of modern life through his unique perspective and innovative techniques.
