The Horse-Race, c. 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Jean Louis Forain captures the exhilarating atmosphere of a horse race in the late 19th century. In this print, we are transported to the race course where jockeys clad in morning coats and top hats anxiously await the start of the competition. The artist's impressionist style adds a sense of movement and energy to the scene, as if we can almost hear the thundering hooves and feel the excitement building. Amidst all this commotion, our attention is drawn to a rather unexpected figure - a fat walrus engrossed in reading while casually leaning against his cane. This whimsical touch adds an element of surprise and humor to an otherwise intense sporting event. Forain's keen observation skills are evident as he masterfully depicts not only human figures but also horses in action. Every detail is meticulously rendered, from the intricate patterns on jockey uniforms to every muscle strain on these majestic animals. This particular print measures 38x45 cm and is housed at Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Russia. It showcases Forain's talent for capturing fleeting moments with his brushstrokes, allowing us to relive this thrilling horse race over a century later. With its vibrant colors and dynamic composition, "The Horse-Race" remains an enduring testament to Forain's skill as an impressionist painter. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing life's most exciting moments - even those
