The Races - Edgar Degas
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
Immersed in the hustle and bustle of racecourses, Edgar Degas invites us to feel the palpable tension of "Les Courses". Here, the renowned impressionist captures a moment of intensity: brightly coloured jockeys mounting horses in full swing, on an expansive track. The nuanced use of soft colours in the background contrasts with the dynamic figures in the foreground, giving the scene impressive depth and perspective. Skilfully marrying landscape with genre scene, Degas succeeds in capturing the essence of equine competition, highlighting the minute detail and frantic movement of this French passion.
