EDITORS COMMENTS
This pastel painting by the Italian Impressionist artist Giuseppe De Nittis, titled "Horse Races in the Bois de Boulogne," showcases the lively atmosphere of the popular horse races held in the Bois de Boulogne park in Paris during the late 19th century. The right panel of a larger work, this vertical composition depicts a bustling scene filled with a diverse group of people, both men and women, dressed in Western attire, absorbed in the excitement of the event. The sunlit daytime scene is bathed in natural daylight, casting warm colors and vibrant hues that reflect the energy and enthusiasm of the crowd. De Nittis, a contemporary of other notable Impressionist artists such as Monet and Renoir, masterfully captures the fleeting moment of the horse race, with the horses in full gallop and the jockeys urging them on. The artist's skillful use of pastel techniques allows for a delicate yet expressive representation of the textures and movements of the horses and their riders, as well as the intricate details of the clothing and accessories of the onlookers. This artwork, created in 1881, is now part of the esteemed collection of the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna (National Gallery of Modern Art) in Rome, Italy, and is a testament to De Nittis's ability to capture the essence of contemporary life through his unique and innovative artistic vision.
