In the picture of Theodor Gericault "The Epsom Derby", the horses run from right to left, as if with the last forces, or rather, on the border of tension. It seems to us that they seem to be approaching us, although they will pass by. This is explained by the fact that on the left, below, not only the beginning of the movement in the picture, but also we, the spectators, are as near to the beginning zone. Any tension appears, as we know, only when the force meets opposition, and then we feel the action This strength. At the same time, we admit: in this picture there are the sounds of a thunder, that is, auditory associations.
