Description: A versatile genius whose oeuvre includes paintings, engravings, and detailed anatomical studies, George Stubbs (1724–1806) 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 eighteenth-century Britain and the colorful world of its devotees—both high and low—the authors examine Stubbs’s work from different points of view and offer many fresh interpretations. Malcolm Warner discusses how horses were regarded in Britain in Stubbs’s time, the unexpected connection between his horse-and-lion compositions and the creation of the English thoroughbred, and his classicism. Robin Blake examines the young Whig noblemen who were Stubbs’s 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 Stubbs’s experiments with wax and enamel. For admirers of Stubbs’s art, eighteenth-century English painting, and horses, this book is an essential addition to their bookshelves. |

Description: The reputation of George Stubbs has undergone profound changes over the two centuries since his death. Once neglected as 'only' an animal painter, more recent interpretations have stressed the social content and context of his art, revealing a figure whose work embodies complex attitudes towards upper-class sporting activities, the rural poor and the natural world. This book offers a refreshed picture of Stubbs, reaffirming his singular importance in the history of British art. Martin Myrone establishes Stubbs as a progressive artist, whose concerns with science and art set him somewhat at odds with the artistic establishment, and whose works provide a viable alternative to the 'aristocratic' models of the Academy. Part of Tate Publishing's "British Artists" series.

Description: George Stubbs was one of the most original artists Britain ever produced. His extraordinary dedication to accuracy impelled him to spend 18 solitary months dissecting and drawing horses to make his landmark study, The Anatomy of the Horse. His portraits of people and animals combine an unflinchingly accurate gaze with profound psychological truth, yet he also created some of the most lyrical paintings of the age. Ozias Humphry, a colleague of Stubbs, recorded his many conversations with the painter, and the resulting manuscript became the basis for this present book.

Description: George Stubbs (1724-1806) is now rightly recognised as one of the greatest and most original artists of the eighteenth century. His profound understanding of anatomy and his uncanny ability to translate the study of nature into remarkably balanced compositions mark him out from other practitioners in the field of animal painting. His most frequent commissions were for paintings of horses, dogs and wild animals, but awareness that such subjects were rated low in the artistic hierarchy did not deter him, throughout a resolute and hard-working career, from producing images that invariably arrest attention and frequently strike a deeply poetic note. Stubbs did not emerge as a painter until he was in his mid-thirties and had moved to London, but in the 1760s his genius flowered astonishingly, prolifically and diversely, and his reputation was first established among noblemen devoted to racing and breeding horses. More than any other painter he steadily and uningratiatingly celebrates English sporting and country life and reveals himself, as in his 'incidental' portraits of jockeys and grooms, as a most perceptive observer of different levels of social behaviour. Throughout his career, Stubbs constantly experimented with technique and in the late 1760s he began chemical experiments with painting in enamels, first on copper and later on earthenware 'tablets', manufactured for him in Wedgwood's potteries, although these fascinating works never found public favour. In preparation for many years, this is the first full catalogue of Stubbs' paintings and drawings. The full catalogue entries are preceded by a lengthy study of Stubbs' art and career that sets his work in context.

Description: Known in his life as "Mr. Stubbs the horse painter", it is only in the last fifty years that the art world has rejected this derogatory assessment of this versatile painter, illustrator, engraver, and outstanding chronicler of nature. Lavish illustrations - covering the full range of his work from the celebrated horse images to portraits, paintings of wild animals, anatomical engravings and experimental work on ceramics- reveal the artist's genius and show why he can rightfully stand beside Turner and William Blake as an artist sure of his own particular vision.

Description: In a period when access to fine paintings was restricted, Stubbs's reputation was spread chiefly through his engravings. This catalogue raisonné is the only single volume to contain all Stubbs's known engravings and provides a complete record of prints made by others after his works. Introductory essays consider Stubbs's relationships with other artists, particularly his engravers, and examine how the prints were originally marketed.
Part 1 covers the more important prints issued during Stubbs's lifetime, some of which are published here for the first time. Each of the 218 entries is fully illustrated and accompanied by comparative material.
Part 2 comprises 440 supplementary entries and indicates the nature and extent of Stubbs's posthumous reputation.
This book also is the first substantial review of the work of a major 18th century British painter by reference to the important, but neglected, medium of reproductive prints.
