After George Stubbs (1724-1806), This Sporting Life

About the Item

Some artists get their training sitting in a studio replicating something or someone in front of them, while the instructor offers pointers. But in Liverpool-born George Stubbs (1724-1806) we have someone who took more of hands-on approach. He was renowned in the opulent era of the assorted royal Georges for his masterful portrayal of equine subjects, a skill he learned by dissecting horse cadavers. His reputation for absolute accuracy and attention to detail ensured the success of his book "The Anatomy of the Horse." No wonder he was a worthy inspiration for this unsigned 1930s painting of some thoroughbred owner's favorite. What fun to hang over the mantle, letting your guests wonder if this glossy steed fits somewhere into your family's glamorous past.
