EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edgar Degas' masterpiece, "Horse Balking (Horse Clearing an Obstacle)" created in the late 1880s. Known for his exceptional talent in capturing movement and realism, Degas presents us with a stunning depiction of a horse overcoming an obstacle. The brown hues and pigmented beeswax used to sculpt this artwork bring the sculpture to life, highlighting every muscle and contour of the majestic animal. Degas, a prominent French artist of the 19th century, skillfully crafted this sculpture using metal armature and cork on a wooden base. The attention to detail is evident as we observe the horse's hind leg raised mid-air while it rears up against its challenge. This side view perspective allows us to appreciate both the strength and gracefulness exuded by these magnificent creatures. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this piece stands as a testament to Degas' mastery of artistic movement within his realist style. It invites viewers into a moment frozen in time – witnessing not only physical prowess but also the determination and spirit embodied by horses. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Heritage Images, we are transported back to late 19th-century France where equestrian art flourished. Let yourself be captivated by Degas' ability to capture beauty through wax sculpture as you admire "Horse Balking" - an enduring tribute to one of nature's most extraordinary creations.
