EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Stubbs' "Study of the Human Figure, Anterior View" from his renowned comparative anatomical exposition. Created between 1795 and 1806, this graphite and chalk masterpiece measures an impressive 53.7x40.6 cm. Stubbs' meticulous attention to detail is evident in this striking depiction of a male figure standing in all its muscular glory. The artist's exploration of human anatomy is further enhanced by his inclusion of a tiger and a common fowl, providing fascinating insights into the structure of these creatures as compared to humans. The full-length sketch captures the essence of the subject's musculature with remarkable precision. Every sinew and contour is delicately rendered, showcasing Stubbs' mastery in capturing the human form. Dating back to the 18th century, this artwork offers us a glimpse into both artistic techniques prevalent during that era and scientific advancements made by anatomists at that time. It serves as a testament to Stubbs' skill as an anatomist himself. Displayed within Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection, this print invites viewers to appreciate not only the beauty but also the complexity inherent in our physical selves. As we gaze upon this nude study, we are reminded of our shared humanity while simultaneously marveling at our unique individuality. Bridgeman Images has once again brought forth an exceptional piece from their Fine Art Finder collection - one that transcends time and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure.
