''The Parade, or Race Horses in front of the Stands'' (c. 1866-68) is a notable painting 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. This work is part of a series of paintings and studies by Degas that focus on the subject of horse racing, a modern leisure activity that was gaining popularity in Paris during the late 19th century. The painting is exemplary of Degas's interest in capturing the dynamic movement and energy of the racetrack, as well as his innovative use of composition and perspective.

In ''The Parade'', Degas depicts a scene of racehorses being led in front of the grandstands filled with spectators, moments before a race. The composition is characterized by its asymmetry and the diagonal lines that draw the viewer's eye across the canvas, suggesting the movement of the horses and the anticipation of the crowd. Degas's use of color and light reflects the influence of the Impressionist movement, with dappled sunlight illuminating the scene and creating a sense of immediacy and fleeting moments.

The painting is also notable for its study of the various figures within the scene, including jockeys, handlers, and the fashionable Parisian crowd. Degas's attention to detail and his ability to convey the social aspects of the racetrack environment are evident in this work. The artist's fascination with photography and its impact on his compositional choices can be seen in the cropped figures and the sense of a snapshot in time that ''The Parade'' conveys.

''The Parade, or Race Horses in front of the Stands'' is held in high esteem for its contribution to the development of modern art and for its insight into the changing urban landscape and leisure activities of 19th-century Paris. The painting is part of the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and historical context.
