George Stubbs, Painter: Catalogue Raisonne by National Gallery

About George Stubbs, Painter: Catalogue Raisonne

Now recognised as one of the most original and accomplished artists of the eighteenth century, George Stubbs transformed British animal painting through scientific precision, technical innovation and poetic insight. Best known for his masterful depictions of horses, dogs and exotic wildlife, Stubbs brought unprecedented realism and emotional depth to sporting and country life in Georgian England.Although he did not fully establish himself as a painter until his mid-thirties, Stubbs's rise was remarkable. Beyond his celebrated equestrian portraits, his so-called "incidental" figures - jockeys, grooms and stable hands - reveal a subtle observer of social hierarchy and human character. His relentless experimentation extended to pioneering enamel techniques on copper and on ceramic tablets produced at the famed Wedgwood potteries.This authoritative volume presents the first complete catalogue raisonne of Stubbs's paintings and drawings, accompanied by an in-depth study of his life, artistic development and legacy. An essential resource for scholars, collectors and admirers of British art history, sporting art and equine portraiture.
