George Stubbs was a renowned English painter who specialized in capturing the beauty and majesty of animals. His works spanned various subjects, from labourers to gentlemen going shooting, showcasing his versatility as an artist. In "Labourers, " painted in 1781, Stubbs depicts the hardworking individuals who form the backbone of society. Their strength and determination are evident in every stroke of his brush. "Two Gentlemen Going a Shooting" transports us to Creswell Crags, offering a glimpse into the leisurely pursuits of the upper class during that era. The scenic view adds depth to this captivating artwork created on-site. Stubbs' love for animals is evident in "White Poodle in a Punt. " Painted around 1780, it showcases his ability to capture not only their physical features but also their personalities and unique charm. One of Stubbs' notable portraits is "Captain Samuel Sharpe Pocklington with His Wife, Pleasance. " This painting captures not just their likeness but also hints at familial ties through the possible inclusion of Captain Pocklington's sister. The intense drama unfolds in "A Horse Frightened by a Lioness, " believed to be created by an unknown artist around 1800. It portrays nature's raw power and evokes feelings of fear and vulnerability within its viewers. Stubbs' fascination with horses continues with "Phaeton with a Pair of Cream Ponies and a Stable-Lad, " painted between 1780-1784. This piece showcases his attention to detail while highlighting equestrian elegance against picturesque scenery. Another horse-centric masterpiece is "Horse Frightened by a Lion, " which dates back to between 1762-1768. Here, Stubbs explores themes of danger and survival as he captures the horse's instinctive reaction when confronted by such formidable predators. Josiah Wedgwood collaborated with Stubbs on "Horse Frightened by a Lion (Episode A), " modeled in 1780.
