More about this artwork

This artwork by George Stubbs, titled "The Anatomy of the Horse," features a detailed and meticulously rendered drawing of a horse with its musculature and anatomical structure exposed. The image is almost monochromatic, emphasizing the textures and contours of the horse's muscular system. The realistic portrayal highlights Stubbs' keen understanding of equine anatomy, a subject he studied extensively.In this drawing, the horse is illustrated in a standing pose, with its head turned slightly towards the viewer, providing a clear view of its muscular and skeletal systems. This approach not only showcases the intricate details of the animal's physique but also reflects the scientific and artistic interests of the period during which Stubbs worked. The precision in the depiction of each muscle and tendon makes it clear that Stubbs was deeply engaged in both scientific inquiry and artistic expression, using his skills to bridge the gap between art and anatomy.Overall, the painting serves not only as a work of art but also as an educational tool, reflecting the 18th-century fascination with the natural world and scientific exploration.

George Stubbs (25 August 1724 – 10 July 1806) was an English painter, best known for his paintings of horses. Self-trained, Stubbs learnt his skills independently from other great artists of the 18th century such as Reynolds and Gainsborough. Stubbs' output includes history paintings, but his greatest skill was in painting animals, perhaps influenced by his love and study of anatomy. His series of paintings on the theme of a lion attacking a horse are early and significant examples of the Romantic movement that emerged in the late 18th century. He enjoyed royal patronage. His painting, Whistlejacket hangs in the National Gallery, London.
