"The Epsom Derby 1821" is a painting by the French artist Théodore Géricault, renowned for his pivotal role in the Romantic movement. This work captures the excitement and dynamism of the Epsom Derby, a prestigious horse race held annually in Epsom, Surrey, England. Géricault, fascinated by horses and the spectacle of the race, created this painting as part of his exploration of movement and the study of horses in motion, themes that recur throughout his oeuvre.

Completed in 1821, the painting is a testament to Géricault's skill in rendering the muscular physiques of the horses and the intense expressions of the jockeys striving for victory. The composition is characterized by its dramatic use of color and light, as well as the artist's ability to convey the speed and energy of the racing horses. Géricault's interest in English sporting and equestrian culture is evident in this work, which reflects his broader engagement with contemporary British art and society during his stay in England from 1820 to 1821.

"The Epsom Derby 1821" is not only a significant work in Géricault's artistic career but also an important historical record of early 19th-century horse racing. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the genre of sporting art and is considered one of the notable examples of Romanticism's impact on the depiction of contemporary events. It remains an influential piece that continues to be studied for its artistic merit and cultural significance within the context of both French and British art history.
