EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Edgar Degas captures the essence of a galloping horse in exquisite detail. Entitled "Horse Galloping on the Right Foot, the Back Left Foot Only Touching the Ground" this 19th-century masterpiece showcases Degas' mastery of capturing movement and energy. The image portrays a magnificent brown horse in mid-gallop, its powerful right foot propelling it forward while only its back left foot touches the ground. With an artistic eye, Degas skillfully depicts every muscle and sinew of the horse's body, conveying both grace and strength. Created using pigmented beeswax on a metal armature with wool and cork elements, this sculpture-turned-photo-print is a testament to Degas' innovative approach to art. The wooden base adds stability to this remarkable piece that now resides at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Degas was renowned for his realistic depictions of horses and jockeys, often exploring themes related to horse racing. In this work, he beautifully captures not just the physicality but also the spirit of these majestic creatures. The side view perspective allows us to witness their speed and agility firsthand. As we gaze upon this artwork from long ago, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever—a fleeting glimpse into an era when sportsmanship and equestrian prowess were celebrated with fervor. This print serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage and pays homage to one of history's greatest artists—
