Bois Boulogne Darte Day Light Galleria Gallery Giuseppe Impressionism Moderna Nazionale Nittis Panel Pastel Races Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This pastel painting by the Italian Impressionist artist Giuseppe De Nittis, titled "Horse Races in the Bois de Boulogne," showcases the lively atmosphere of a day at the races in Paris. Painted in 1881, the central panel depicts the excitement and energy of the outdoor event, with the national gallops of Italy's Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna (National Gallery of Modern Art) serving as its proud home. The scene is set in the picturesque Bois de Boulogne, a popular destination for Parisians seeking leisure and entertainment. The vibrant colors of the pastel capture the rich hues of the horses, their riders, and the surrounding landscape. The upright composition of the painting draws the viewer in, inviting them to experience the thrill of the race. The painting is a prime example of the Impressionist movement, with its emphasis on capturing the fleeting moment and the interplay of light and color. The pastel medium allows for a soft, ethereal quality, adding to the dreamlike quality of the scene. The painting was created during a period when De Nittis was living and working in Paris, where he was deeply influenced by the Impressionist movement. His mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the essence of the moment make "Horse Races in the Bois de Boulogne" a standout work in his oeuvre. The painting is now housed in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome, where it continues to captivate audiences with its vibrant colors and lively energy. A must-see for any art lover, this painting is a testament to De Nittis's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time.
