''Races at Longchamp'' is an 1867 painting by French artist Édouard Manet, showcasing the horse racing event at the Longchamp Racecourse in Paris. This work is one of Manet's earlier forays into depicting contemporary leisure activities, a theme that would become central to the Impressionist movement, with which he was associated. The painting is notable for its candid portrayal of modern life and the leisure activities of the Parisian bourgeoisie, a subject that was becoming increasingly popular among artists of the time.

The composition of ''Races at Longchamp'' captures the excitement and movement of the race, with horses and jockeys depicted in mid-gallop, blurring the lines between the figures and the background. This effect is achieved through Manet's loose brushwork and the use of rapid, sketch-like strokes, which convey a sense of dynamism and immediacy. The crowd of spectators, although present, is rendered almost abstractly, with more emphasis on the overall atmosphere than on individual characterizations.

Manet's interest in the effects of light and his departure from traditional historical and mythological subjects were innovative for his time and signaled a shift towards modernism. ''Races at Longchamp'' is exemplary of Manet's skill in capturing the fleeting moments of modern life, and it prefigures the Impressionist preoccupation with light, motion, and the experience of the observer.

The painting is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and its role in the development of modern art. ''Races at Longchamp'' remains a valuable document of Parisian society in the 19th century, as well as a testament to Manet's pioneering artistic vision.
