A versatile genius whose oeuvre includes paintings, engravings, and detailed anatomical studies, George Stubbs (17241806) was fascinated by horses. This handsome book presents for the first time the wide range of his equine imagery, from refined portraits of racehorses to violent scenes of horses attacked by lions in the wild.Taking full account of the associations and status of the noble horse in eighteenthcentury Britain and the colorful world of its devoteesboth high and lowthe authors examine Stubbss work from different points of view and offer many fresh interpretations. Malcolm Warner discusses how horses were regarded in Britain in Stubbss time, the unexpected connection between his horseandlion compositions and the creation of the English thoroughbred, and his classicism. Robin Blake examines the young Whig noblemen who were Stubbss first patrons, the grooms, jockeys, trainers, and other attendants who appear in his horse portraits, and his curious dealings with the Prince of Wales. The book also includes an essay by conservators Lance Mayer and Gay Myers on Stubbss experiments with wax and enamel.For admirers of Stubbss art, eighteenthcentury English painting, and horses, this book is an essential addition to their bookshelves.
