More about this artwork

This painting by George Stubbs, titled "Newmarket Heath, with The King's Stables Rubbing House at The Finish of The Beacon Course," captures a serene and understated landscape scene. The artwork centers on a simple, solid structure, believed to be the rubbing house related to the King's Stables, positioned prominently to the right. This building is characterized by its plain, brick façade and triangular gabled roof, which is finely detailed, emphasizing the texture of the roofing materials.The background displays a vast, open heath, stretching out under a vast sky that occupies the upper half of the canvas. The sky is rendered in subtle gradients of blue and white, suggesting a calm, clear day. Interestingly, aside from the building, the landscape is relatively featureless, except for a few sparse groups of trees and what appears to be a distant outline of another structure or group of trees.Stubbs is renowned for his paintings of horses and his detailed study of their anatomy, but in this piece, he shifts focus to capture the essence of a landscape associated with horse racing and training. The broad, gentle expanse of Newmarket Heath is portrayed with muted earth tones, suggesting the natural beauty and tranquility of the location.

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.
