George Stubbs (1724-1806), now recognized as one of the greatest
and most original artists of the eighteenth century, stands out
from other practitioners in the field of animal painting. His most
frequent commissions were for paintings of horses, dogs, and wild
animals, and his images invariably arrest attention and frequently
strike a deeply poetic note. Stubbs did not emerge as a painter
until he was in his mid-thirties, but then his genius flowered
astonishingly. He steadily celebrates English sporting and country
life and reveals himself-in his "incidental" portraits of jockeys
and grooms, for example-as a perceptive observer of different
levels of social behavior. Among his many experiments with
technique were his chemical experiments with painting in enamels,
first on copper and later on earthenware "tablets," manufactured
for him in Wedgwood's potteries. This is the first full catalogue
of Stubbs's paintings and drawings. Along with the full catalogue
entries, the book offers a lengthy study of Stubbs's art and
career. Published for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British
Art
