Skriv inn ønsket bredde og høyde for å tilpasse trykket til din ramme eller vegg. Et trykk kan kun beskjæres, aldri skaleres opp utover motivets opprinnelige størrelse, noe som betyr at et format med andre proporsjoner vil føre til tap av deler av bildet. Vi sender deg en digital mockup for godkjenning før vi starter trykkeprosessen. Bildet som vises på denne siden viser ikke den faktiske beskjæringen — det er kun mockuppen som viser dette.

Before the Race
Størrelse på reproduksjon
Edgar Degas’ “Before the Race” stands as a quintessential example of Impressionism, capturing not just a visual snapshot but also the palpable energy and anticipation inherent in the equestrian world of late 19th century France. Created in 1884, this pastel drawing—one of three identical versions produced during that period—offers a glimpse into Degas’ fascination with horses and his masterful ability to convey movement through subtle brushstrokes.
Degas' lifelong devotion to horses began in the 1860s, fueled by visits to Normandy where he befriended artists like Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. He was particularly captivated by horse racing, a burgeoning pastime under Louis-Philippe and Napoleon III—a spectacle that resonated deeply with his artistic sensibilities. As he himself noted, “I love horses,” reflecting this passion in every piece he undertook.
Executed on tracing paper mounted to cardboard, "Before the Race" exemplifies Degas’ distinctive Impressionist style. The pastel medium lends itself beautifully to capturing fleeting moments of light and color, resulting in a luminous surface punctuated by delicate chalk strokes. These strokes aren't merely descriptive; they actively contribute to conveying the dynamism of the scene—the nervous energy of the jockeys preparing for the race and the restless movement of their horses.
The composition is cleverly balanced, positioning the jockeys and horses in a way that builds tension—a visual prelude to the forthcoming race. Degas' meticulous observation of anatomy informs his depiction of the horses, demonstrating his commitment to scientific accuracy alongside artistic expression.
“Before the Race” embodies the spirit of Impressionism—a movement that sought to capture the immediacy of experience rather than adhering rigidly to academic conventions. Its beauty and significance can be appreciated by visiting The Walters Art Museum or exploring reproductions on TopImpressionists.com.
