EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edgar Degas' masterpiece, "Jockey" dating back to the mid-1870s. As a prominent figure in the 19th-century artistic movement, Degas skillfully captures the essence of this equestrian sport through his realistic portrayal of a jockey on horseback. The brown hues and pigmented beeswax medium used by Degas add depth and texture to this remarkable sculpture. With meticulous attention to detail, he sculpts every muscle and sinew of both the rider and his noble steed, creating an incredibly lifelike representation. In this side view portrait, we witness the intense concentration etched onto the jockey's face as he navigates his way through a racecourse. The metal armature beneath the wax adds stability to this delicate artwork while ensuring its longevity for generations to come. Degas' profound understanding of human anatomy is evident in every stroke of his sculpting tool. This statue not only celebrates the beauty of horses but also pays homage to those who dedicate their lives to this exhilarating sport. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. , this piece stands as a testament to Degas' mastery as an artist. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing moments frozen in time – whether it be through paintbrushes or sculpting tools. As we gaze upon "Jockey" we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in both history and culture. This
