EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting by Edgar Degas, titled "The parade or race horses in front of the stands" transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of a 19th-century French hippodrome. The scene is alive with energy as horses and their riders parade in front of a bustling crowd. Degas masterfully captures the movement and grace of these majestic animals, showcasing his keen eye for detail. The canvas measures 0.46 x 0.61 meters and is housed at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France. It was created between 1866-1868 during Degas' Impressionist period, where he sought to capture fleeting moments and impressions rather than rigidly defined forms. In this artwork, we see not only the beauty of horse racing but also glimpse into French society at that time. The spectators are dressed elegantly, engrossed in the excitement unfolding before them. Each figure is meticulously painted, revealing Degas' skillful observation of human anatomy. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this iconic piece through her photography skills, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details even from afar. This print serves as a reminder of Degas' lasting legacy as one of the most influential figures in art history. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by equestrian culture, this print will undoubtedly add a touch of sophistication and intrigue to any space it graces
