"Atalanta's Race" is a notable engraving by French artist Jean F. Joubert (1810–1884), published by The Fine Art Society in 1881. The work is based on the original painting by Sir Edward John Poynter (1836–1919), a prominent English painter of the Victorian era, who served as the President of the Royal Academy. Poynter's painting depicts the mythological story of Atalanta, a renowned female hunter and athlete in Greek mythology, known for her swiftness.

The myth of Atalanta tells of her race against suitors who sought her hand in marriage. Atalanta, unwilling to marry, agreed to race her suitors on the condition that if she was defeated, she would marry the victor; however, if she won, the suitor would be put to death. The engraving captures a moment from this race, showcasing Atalanta's determination and athleticism, as well as the tension and drama of the event.

Joubert's engraving is a testament to the neoclassical style that was prevalent during the 19th century, reflecting the era's fascination with ancient Greek and Roman art and literature. The work is characterized by its fine detail, classical composition, and the dynamic portrayal of the figures in motion. "Atalanta's Race" not only exemplifies Poynter's skill in historical and mythological subjects but also demonstrates Joubert's expertise in translating the painterly qualities of the original into the medium of engraving.

The publication of the engraving by The Fine Art Society, an influential art dealership and gallery in London, indicates the work's significance within the art market of the time. It would have been accessible to a wider audience, contributing to the dissemination and appreciation of Poynter's work and the mythological subject matter it represents.

Today, "Atalanta's Race" by Jean F. Joubert after Sir Edward John Poynter remains an important work within the canon of 19th-century British art, reflecting the era's artistic interests and the collaborative relationship between painters and engravers in bringing classical themes to the public.
