The exhibition delves into the ethical dilemmas and aesthetic dimensions of how artists such as Monet, Degas, Caillebotte, Toulouse-Lautrec, Eakins, Richer, Maillol, Rodin, Bellows, Lhote, Delaunay, Metzinger, and Gromaire perceived sports.

The works include a wide   range of sports, from the  elitist such as  horse-riding, sailing, and fencing to age-old activities such as wrestling, boxing, and ball games. It also  examines the symbolic significance of the artist as a sports figure, embodying traits of determination, endurance, and resilience.
