Painting Description
"Study of Horses" is a notable work by the French artist Edgar Degas, who is widely regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism, although he preferred to be called a realist. Created in the latter half of the 19th century, this artwork reflects Degas's profound interest in the movement and anatomy of horses, subjects that he explored throughout his career. Degas was known for his meticulous study of his subjects, and his equine works are no exception; they demonstrate his dedication to capturing the essence of the horse's form and the dynamism of its motion.
The "Study of Horses" is part of a larger body of work that includes numerous sketches, paintings, and sculptures, showcasing Degas's fascination with horses at rest, at work, and in motion, particularly within the context of the racetrack, which was a popular Parisian leisure activity during his time. Degas's approach to depicting horses was innovative; he often portrayed them from unusual angles and in varying degrees of motion, which was a departure from the traditional, more static representations of the time.
This work exemplifies Degas's skill in using various media, including pastels, oils, and charcoal, to render the musculature and movement of horses with both accuracy and artistic sensitivity. The "Study of Horses" not only contributes to our understanding of Degas's artistic process but also offers insight into the social and cultural milieu of late 19th-century France, where horse racing and equestrianism were intertwined with the era's notions of modernity and leisure.
As with many of Degas's studies, "Study of Horses" likely served as a preparatory work for larger, more finished compositions. The piece is representative of the artist's iterative creative process, where he would repeatedly sketch a subject to perfect its form before committing it to a final painting or sculpture. Today, Degas's equine studies are celebrated for their vitality and for the artist's ability to convey the grace and power of these animals, making them an enduring part of his artistic legacy.
