1816 -1824 · Speed, anatomy and romance
Géricault makes horse racing a laboratory of movement: departure, gallop, effort and speed condense his passion for the horse and the body in action.
Théodore Géricault draws and paints horses with constant intensity. A rider himself, he studies the anatomy, attitudes, effort and accidents of movement. His stay in England in 1820 -1821 introduced him to modern races, their jockeys, their crowds and the British sporting tradition. The Epsom Derby condenses horses in a suspended gallop, an image that has become emblematic despite its distance from the subsequent scientific decomposition of movement. Studies of departures, mounted groups and variants show that Géricault seeks less a photographic moment than an expressive synthesis of speed. The selection "Horse races by Théodore Géricault" notably compares Race of mounted horses going to the left, at the time of departure and The Derby of 1821 in Epsom. His reading favors light.
Géricault does not describe each phase of the gallop: he brings together all the power of the movement in a single tense form.
