EDITORS COMMENTS
This pastel print, titled "Racecourse at the Bois de Boulogne" transports us to a lively scene in 19th-century Paris. The artist, Giuseppe or Joseph de Nittis, skillfully captures the essence of a horse racing event held in one of the city's most renowned parks. As we gaze upon this artwork, our eyes are drawn to the diverse group of spectators gathered along the railings. Men and women alike don their finest attire and fashionable hats as they eagerly await the thrilling races about to unfold before them. The atmosphere is charged with excitement and anticipation. Amidst this bustling crowd, we notice a woman wearing an elegant dress and an exquisite hat adorned with feathers. Her gaze is fixed intently on the racecourse, her hand delicately holding onto her companion's arm. A man nearby stands tall in his top hat, engrossed in every moment of this equestrian spectacle. The horses thunder by with incredible speed and power, captivating both young and old alike. The park itself serves as a picturesque backdrop for this exhilarating event – its lush greenery contrasting beautifully against the vibrant colors of jockey uniforms. Through Nittis' masterful strokes, we are transported back in time to witness not only a sporting event but also a snapshot of European society during that era. This artwork reminds us that even centuries later, our fascination with sports remains unchanged – transcending borders and cultures while bringing people together through shared experiences of joy and excitement
