About the piece
Painted in 1869, this masterpiece by Edgar Degas exemplifies the artist's innovative approach to composition and his fascination with contemporary leisure. The work places the viewer in the midst of a family outing at a Normandy racetrack, balancing the quiet intimacy of the foreground carriage with the distant, energetic motion of the racing horses under a sprawling, atmospheric sky.
