🔍 Thematic Zoom – George Stubbs, horse painter-anatomist

Few artists in history have combined art and science with such mastery as George Stubbs. Both a genius painter and a rigorous animal anatomist, he stands out in the 18th century as a unique figure in English animal painting.

📖 The Anatomy of the Horse : a foundational work

For 18 months, George Stubbs dissects horses, alone, on a farm in Lincolnshire. He produces a series of remarkably precise plates, published in 1766 under the title The Anatomy of the Horse. This study immediately becomes a scientific reference, but also a source of visual inspiration. Every muscle, every joint, every curve is represented accurately, without ever sacrificing elegance.

🐎 A new way of painting the animal

Thanks to this intimate anatomical knowledge, George Stubbs' horse paintings vibrate with a living realism. Unlike his contemporaries, he does not merely stylize: he observes, understands, translates, in a style that is both rigorous and sensitive.

Whether it is an aristocratic equestrian portrait, a hunting scene, or a naturalistic representation of exotic animals, the animal in Stubbs is never a pretext: it is subject, soul, movement.

🎨 Our hand-painted reproductions from this period perfectly illustrate the link between science and art that drives the work of George Stubbs. The anatomical painting of the horse, in its noblest version, enters your home with strength and refinement.
