"Degas: Racing" by Frank Elgar is a small monograph in the "Little Encyclopedia of Art" series (No. 67). It presents horse racing in the works of Edgar Degas with an introduction and color reproductions.
Through these "miniatures", the author brings the reader closer to the world of different traditions, emphasizing the beauty, mysticism, and complexity of Islamic culture, but also universal themes such as transience, identity, and the meaning of life.
The monograph also provides a biographical framework, an analysis of thematic cycles, an interpretation of the artist's dominant motifs, and numerous reproductions of paintings.
The history of the Uffizi Gallery is in many ways the history of the collections of the Medici family and the family that came after them, the Lorena.
