Impressionist painter, Edgar Degas, began painting scenes with horses in the 1860s, including ''Before the Race'' (1882–84). ==History== Horse racing became a popular pastime in 19th century France under Louis-Philippe and Napoleon III. Degas began admiring horses while visiting friends in Normandy. Over the course of his career it is reported that he created 45 oils, 20 pastels, 250 drawings, and 17 sculptures related to horses. Degas was eager to know horses in anatomical detail.〔(A., Degas: Pastels, Watson and Guptill, 1984, p. 60 )〕 As a student, Degas had filled his notebooks with drawings of horses. During a tour of breeding farms with Paul Valpincon and after exposure to horse races, Degas appreciated the movement of the horses and the colors of the jockeys uniforms. He wanted to make his paintings seem spontaneous as if he'd captured a passing moment.〔(S.E., First Impressions: Edgar Degas, Henry N. Abrams, 1994, p. 52 )〕 ''Before the Race'' is one of three identically titled paintings from the early 1880s. During this time Degas was reported to have a full sized stuffed horse in his studio.〔(J.A., Great French Paintings from the Clark: Barbizon through Impressionism, Skira Rizzolli, 2011, p. 130 )〕 This version is part of the collection of The Walters Art Museum, the other two are part of the collections of Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute and the Mrs. John Hay Whitney Collection.〔(W. R., Nineteenth-Century Art: From Romanticism to Art Nouveau, The Walters Art Gallery, 2000, p. 138 )〕
