The Lions Den
Oil on canvas
Canvas Size 11 x 14 1/2 in
Framed Size 17 x 21 in
George Stubbs, one of the most celebrated animal painters of the 18th century, had a deep fascination with lions, often depicting them in both dramatic and tranquil scenes. Unlike many artists of his time, Stubbs approached his subjects with a scientific curiosity, studying animal anatomy in great detail. His lions, inspired by classical art and firsthand observation, often embodied both nobility and raw power.
Stubbs' paintings frequently explored the relationship between predator and prey, as seen in works like A Lion Attacking a Horse, but he was equally skilled at portraying lions in moments of repose. His ability to capture the musculature, movement, and expression of these animals set his work apart, influencing generations of wildlife painters. This painting, much like Stubbs’ own works, reflects that same attention to anatomy and emotion, evoking the grandeur and quiet majesty of the king of beasts.
