EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Edgar Degas, titled "Horse Galloping, Turning the Head to the Right, the Feet Not Touching the Ground" captures a moment of sheer grace and power. Created in the mid-1870s during the 19th century artistic movement, this artwork showcases Degas' mastery in portraying animals with remarkable realism. The sculpture depicts a magnificent horse galloping with its head turned towards the right. Its feet seem suspended in mid-air, frozen in time as it effortlessly glides through space. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece - from the texture of beeswax and pigmented colors used to create it, to its metal armature and cork elements on a wooden base. Degas' love for horses and equestrian sports shines through this work. The jockey riding atop adds an element of human presence amidst nature's beauty. This statue beautifully captures both strength and elegance that define these majestic creatures. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this artwork stands as a testament to Degas' exceptional talent as a realist sculptor. It invites viewers into a world where art meets sport, where man connects with nature through his love for horses. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported back to 19th-century France - witnessing not just an animal frozen in motion but also experiencing an artist's profound understanding of form and movement.
