George Stubbs: 'All Done from Nature' offers the first major overview in Britain for more than three decades of one of the nation's most original artists, George Stubbs. Bringing together 80 paintings, drawings and rare publications - from the iconic Whistlejacket at the National Gallery to works never before publicly exhibited - this landmark volume redefines Stubbs's place in British art history.Renowned for his extraordinary depictions of horses, animals and society figures, Stubbs combined scientific rigour with profound empathy. Rejecting academic convention, he insisted on direct observation, using drawing and dissection as tools for discovery. His groundbreaking anatomical study, The Anatomy of the Horse, transformed understanding of equine biology and declared his method: everything 'all done from Nature'.Published to accompany the major exhibitions at MK Gallery and the Mauritshuis, this richly illustrated book features new scholarship exploring Stubbs's enduring influence on animal painting, sporting art and the development of empirical realism in eighteenth-century Britain.
