The Races at Longchamp
By Manet

The Races at Longchamp

Oil on canvas, 1864

Now you can own a Manet reproduction of The Races at Longchamp oil painting, hand-painted to museum quality and guaranteed for 1 year.

The sense of movement and drama in The Races at Longchamp is unusual in Manet’s work. Edgar Degas – Manet’s friend, but also his sharp-tongued rival – boasted that he was the first artist to tackle the thoroughly modern subject of racehorses and jockeys; this is by way of being Manet’s response.

Unlike Degas, he paints the race itself, and paints it as no one had done before. Instead of being shown from one side, the horses are bearing straight down upon us (a viewpoint that would only become non-suicidal when cameras could be concealed on the course).

The cursory brushwork is marvellously effective in creating an effect of furious action amid clouds of dust.

When this was painted, Longchamp was only a few years old: its position in the Bois de Boulogne made it Paris’s own racecourse, convenient even for an inveterate townee such as Manet.
