"Derby at Epsom" is a renowned painting by the French artist Théodore Géricault, created in the early 19th century, specifically in 1821. This work is celebrated for its dynamic representation of the Epsom Derby, a prestigious horse racing event held annually in Epsom, Surrey, England. Géricault, known for his pivotal role in the Romantic movement, captures the intensity and fervor of the race, emphasizing the physical prowess of the horses and the emotional engagement of the jockeys and spectators.

The painting stands out for its dramatic use of color and light, as well as its meticulous attention to detail, both in the depiction of the human figures and the horses. Géricault's interest in the movement and anatomy of horses is evident, reflecting his broader fascination with themes of energy, motion, and the sublime. "Derby at Epsom" not only showcases Géricault's technical skill and innovative approach to composition but also offers insight into early 19th-century British culture and society, particularly the significance of horse racing as a social event.

"Derby at Epsom" is part of Géricault's broader engagement with British subjects during his stay in England from 1820 to 1821. This period was marked by a prolific output of lithographs, paintings, and drawings, through which Géricault explored various aspects of British life and landscape. The painting is often discussed in the context of Géricault's most famous work, "The Raft of the Medusa," as an example of his continued exploration of dramatic and emotive themes.

Today, "Derby at Epsom" is celebrated as a masterpiece of Romantic art, reflecting both the artist's innovative spirit and the cultural vibrancy of early 19th-century Britain. It remains a significant work for scholars and enthusiasts of Géricault, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of art, sport, and society during a transformative period in European history.
