Man on Horseback, c.1888 by Edgar Degas captures a dynamic moment of motion and grace, featuring one of the artist's favourite subjects: the horse. Known for his fascination with movement and equestrian scenes, Degas masterfully portrays the rider and horse in perfect harmony. With his signature Impressionist style, Degas uses soft, fluid brushstrokes and muted colours to convey the power and elegance of the horse as it moves, while focusing on the natural interaction between man and animal.
This art print is ideal for those who appreciate Impressionist art, equestrian scenes, and Degas' unique perspective on capturing fleeting moments of life. The painting’s balance of energy and refinement makes it a sophisticated addition to any space, celebrating the beauty of horses and the skill of their riders.
