EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of anticipation and excitement in the world of horse racing. Painted by Edgar Degas, this oil on panel artwork showcases his signature impressionist style, bringing to life the vibrant energy that surrounds a race. In this scene, jockeys dressed in colorful silks prepare themselves and their horses for the upcoming competition. The traditional costumes add a touch of elegance and tradition to the atmosphere, while also highlighting the intense focus and determination etched on each jockey's face. The painting beautifully portrays the straining muscles of both man and beast as they await their turn on the track. The horses' powerful bodies exude strength and grace, ready to unleash their speed upon hearing that starting bell. Degas skillfully captures not only physicality but also emotion in this piece. The viewer can almost feel the palpable excitement building up within these pre-race moments. It is as if time stands still before everything erupts into motion. Displayed at Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Massachusetts, USA, "Before the Race" serves as a reminder of our timeless fascination with horse racing - an enduring sport that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
