Galloping Horse c. 19th century

Edgar Degas's "Galloping Horse" is a bronze sculpture from the 19th century that captures the dynamic energy of a horse in motion. Degas, known for his depictions of dancers and horses, employed a realist approach to sculpt this piece, emphasizing the animal's musculature and anatomical detail. The sculpture is a testament to Degas's keen observation of movement and his ability to translate it into tangible form. Found in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, this bronze work stands as a lasting example of Degas's artistic vision.
