About
Horse races were a recurring theme in Degas’s work, particularly during the 1860s. The first racetrack in France, the Hippodrome, was established at Fontainebleau, southeast of Paris, in 1778 and it quickly became a popular destination for high society Parisians. Degas was born to a well off family and would have been familiar with the track. He enjoyed portraying modern interests such as music and dance, making horse racing another natural subject for him. Degas had an interest in the anatomy of horses, using his knowledge to enhance his work, painting, drawing, and sculpting horses.

Custom Framing
We use the highest quality wood in our modern shop to create custom frames, frame your print with precision-cut acid-free mat board, and mount it behind a UV-blocking semi-gloss plexiglass to protect your art from the sun, dust, pollution, heat, and humidity. Then we add finishing touches like a wall hanging mount, wall friendly bumpers and a protective backing.
