George Stubbs - Paintings
George Stubbs was an English painter, copper engraver and anatomist who, regarding his techniques and themes, was very interested in many things. He was celebrated in Great Britain of the 18th century especially for his animal depictions. In addition to genre, portrait and enamel paintings, he also created group pictures.
Born: 25 August 1724 in Liverpool
Died: 10 July 1806, in London
George Stubbs, who has only enjoyed a brief education, travels through Northern England and paints man and animals obsessively to study their anatomy down to the last detail. Following his obsession, he travels to Rome and Morocco. The painting “The Lion Attacks a Horse”, which is only one of many themes he covers, is inspired by an event in Morocco. Stubbs' drive to discover anatomy goes so far that he dissects animals and humans and retains detailed drawings of these sessions. Anatomy books with illustrations by George Stubbs earn him publicity. As a painter, he shows as much meticulous efforts in his work as with his illustrations. He always tries to be true to nature and anatomically correct. His clients partly come from the upper nobility. Accordingly, Stubbs also paints his horse pictures with a noble, accurate naturalness. The artist is a contradictory character who is acknowledged in the artist community, but can scarcely hold on to the surpassed specifications. He tends to be rather individual, faithful to himself and his art. 		George Stubbs
