More about this artwork

Edgar Degas' oil painting titled "Verletzter Jockey / Injured Jockey" (1896-1898) is a poignant depiction that deviates from the celebratory or elegant portrayals commonly seen in his other works featuring horses and jockeys. Dominated by a sense of motion and unsettling stillness, the painting shows a lone horse galloping away on a lush, grassy hill, while the jockey, seemingly flung from his mount, lies motionless on the ground, his posture conveying a distressing halt in action.The painting's composition powerfully contrasts the wild, unrestrained energy of the horse with the vulnerable, inert figure of the jockey, accentuating themes of motion and misfortune. Degas' use of vibrant, yet somber colors and his soft, sweeping brushstrokes evoke a dramatic and emotional landscape, reflecting the potential perils and the unpredictable nature of equestrian sports.The artwork serves not only as a representation of a moment in sport but also invites reflection on the fragility of human endeavors, particularly in the face of nature's untamed forces.
