EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Au Grand Prix" by Albert Robida takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of humor and excitement at the famous horse racing event. The image showcases a group of fashionable French women standing and watching the races with great anticipation. Their satirical expressions and exaggerated gestures add an element of amusement to the scene. The spectators are seated on single chairs, upholstered in elegant furnishings, which highlight the opulence and sophistication of this era. In contrast, the horses thunder down the track, showcasing their strength and grace as they compete for victory. From shire horses to ponies and racehorses, there is a diverse range of animals participating in this thrilling event. As we observe this snapshot from history, we can't help but notice one woman who appears bored amidst all the excitement. Her expression reflects feelings of ennui as she sits alone on her chair. This subtle detail adds depth to the composition by juxtaposing her disinterest against the vibrant energy surrounding her. With its vivid colors and intricate details, this color lithograph captures not only a moment in time but also offers us insights into French culture during that period. It serves as both a humorous satire on society's fascination with horse racing while also providing an intriguing glimpse into fashion trends prevalent at that time. Overall, "Au Grand Prix" is an engaging piece that combines elements of humor, fashion, animal life, and emotion within one captivating image from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection
