More about this artwork

The painting "Brown And White Norfolk Or Water Spaniel" by George Stubbs beautifully captures a domestic dog in a naturalistic setting. The canine subject stands prominently in the foreground, depicted with great detail and realism. The dog features a contrasting coat of curly white and brown patches, with notably expressive eyes that give it a sentient, almost humanlike gaze.The landscape surrounding the dog enhances the serene yet vivid portrayal. Stubbs sets the scene with a backdrop of tranquil, muted skies and elegant weeping willows, emphasizing the calmness of the environment. In the lower left, there are detailed depictions of native plants, adding a botanical interest to the composition and indicating the artist's keen eye for natural details.Overall, the composition and the meticulous attention to detail not only highlight Stubbs' mastery of animal anatomy but also his ability to imbue his paintings with a lifelike presence and a sense of dignified tranquility. This work stands as a testament to Stubbs' reputation as one of the foremost painters of animals, and especially horses and dogs, in the history of art.

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.
