George Stubbs

10/31/2013

 
this is  An incredible image the title describes exactly what’s happening -  a white stallion is being torn apart by a ferocious lion in a starkly theatrical landscape of willowy, wind swept trees and distant hazy mountains. The horse is majestic but doomed, the lion, a ravaging monster.

all of theses paintings show the fear with in the eyes of the animals this is how I would imagine  an animal would look like if they get hit by a car.   although the horse is being killed it still looks beautiful the mucel  definition the glint in the eyes  create this personality.

stubbs seems almost obsessed with the subject of a lion attacking a horse, apparently he has created  at least seventeen works on the theme, most of which were in oil on canvas.
