EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture by Edgar Degas, titled "Horse with Jockey; Horse Galloping, Turning Head to the Right" captures the essence of equestrian sport in the 19th century. The artist's mastery is evident as he skillfully portrays a horse and its jockey mid-gallop, their feet seemingly suspended above the ground. Degas, known for his impressionistic style and love for depicting movement, beautifully conveys the energy and grace of these magnificent creatures. The horse turns its head to the right, showcasing its powerful profile while maintaining an air of elegance. Its muscular body is rendered in rich brown hues that bring warmth and depth to this exquisite artwork. The jockey atop the horse adds another layer of dynamism to the composition. Clad in traditional riding attire, this male sportsman embodies determination and skill as he guides his mount through a thrilling race or training session. Degas' attention to detail can be seen in every aspect of this sculpture – from the intricate folds of fabric on the rider's clothes to each sinewy muscle on both man and beast. Displayed at Chicago's renowned Art Institute, this piece stands as a testament to Degas' contribution to French art during his time. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with horses as symbols of strength, beauty, and athleticism throughout history.
