Ever wonder what it feels like to be right in the middle of a thundering horse race?

Edgar Degas didn't just paint his equestrian scenes from a safe distance. In this intimate 1882 masterpiece, he thrusts us directly into the action among the riders. Notice how the large, bold horse heads dominate the right side of the canvas.

At the same time, the vibrant primary colors of the jockeys' red, yellow, and blue jackets pull your eye deep into the scene. Degas was famously obsessed with studying bodies in motion. During this period, he was actually moving away from traditional Impressionism to create heavier, more sculptural forms.

The raw energy and flowing movement of this painting can instantly wake up any sleepy room. It is the perfect piece to add a dynamic, sophisticated pulse to your living space or home office.
