A highlight of Rome's Carnival held each year before the start of Lent, the race of the riderless horses was a longstanding feature that Vernet witnessed. Raced around the Piazza del Popolo, "la mossa" was, according to Goethe "one of the finest sights that can be seen anywhere in the world". Vernet will have been aware of Goethe's depiction of the race when he painted his version, showing grooms struggling to control the horses prior to the race.
