EDITORS COMMENTS
The print "At the Races, c1866-1868" captures a vibrant scene of horse racing in the late 19th century. Created by renowned artist Edgar Degas, this painting showcases his mastery of impressionism and his ability to depict movement and atmosphere with remarkable skill. Set against a backdrop of grandstands filled with eager spectators, the racehorses gallop past in a blur of color and energy. The jockeys, dressed in their colorful silks, lean forward on their mounts as they compete for victory. Shadows cast by the horses and riders add depth and drama to the composition. Degas' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he captures not only the physicality of the sport but also its social aspects. The crowded country setting suggests that horse racing was not just a sporting event but also an occasion for people to gather together and enjoy each other's company. This particular print is from Wilhelm Uhde's publication "The Impressionists" which highlights important works from this influential art movement. It serves as a testament to Degas' significant contribution to both impressionism and post-impressionism. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to experience the excitement and thrill of horse racing during one pivotal moment in history.
