"Racehorses at Longchamp" is an oil painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1871. The artwork captures the vibrant atmosphere of the Longchamp Racecourse, a prominent horse racing venue located in the Bois de Boulogne on the western outskirts of Paris. Degas, renowned for his contributions to Impressionism and celebrated for his depictions of Parisian life, often explored themes of movement and modernity in his works. This painting is no exception, as it reflects the artist's fascination with the dynamic world of horse racing—a subject that he revisited throughout his career.

The painting is characterized by its sense of immediacy and the artist's use of bold, rapid brushstrokes that convey the swift motion of the racehorses. Degas's interest in photography and his study of motion, particularly the work of pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge, is evident in the way he captures the horses and jockeys in various stages of movement. The composition of "Racehorses at Longchamp" is notable for its unconventional perspective, with the viewer placed close to the action, as if standing alongside the race track.

Degas's palette in this work is typically restrained, with an emphasis on earthy tones and the naturalistic rendering of the horses and their surroundings. The painting's atmosphere is further enriched by the play of light and shadow, a testament to Degas's skill in rendering the effects of outdoor lighting on his subjects.

"Racehorses at Longchamp" is part of a larger body of work by Degas that documents the equestrian world of Paris, including scenes of horse races, jockeys, and the behind-the-scenes activities at the stables. These works not only illustrate the artist's technical prowess but also provide a window into the leisure activities of the Parisian bourgeoisie during the late 19th century.

Today, "Racehorses at Longchamp" is held in high regard as an example of Degas's innovative approach to composition and his ability to capture the essence of modern life. The painting is housed in a prominent art institution, contributing to the ongoing appreciation and study of Degas's artistic legacy.
