I found it to be a very interesting motif which contrasted against many of the artists of this time. His passion for anatomy clearly shines through his work, in the contours of each muscle and structure of the horses. It was stated that Stubbs had moved to York to study anatomy under Charles Atkinson in the York County Hospital. He also spent months dissecting horses in his own farm to truly understand the anatomy of the horse inside and out.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_157\" style=\"width: 170px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-157\" class=\"size-full wp-image-157\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/abigailaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7014\/2018\/10\/george-stubbs-horse-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"260\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-157\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">George Stubbs: Horse Attacked by a Lion, ca.1762<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_158\" style=\"width: 230px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-158\" class=\"size-full wp-image-158\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/abigailaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7014\/2018\/10\/The_Kongouro_from_New_Holland_Kangaroo_NMM_ZBA5754_cropped.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"187\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Painting of a kangaroo, 1772<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Personally, I enjoy more of the fact that he has explored various new subjects in comparison to the other artists of his time, especially of beautiful horses. However, I find that his paintings come off as too dull and quiet for scenes of such majestic creatures. Seemingly, it does appear that many artists of this time had created paintings with similar tones and lightness.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_160\" style=\"width: 247px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-160\" class=\"size-full wp-image-160\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/abigailaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7014\/2018\/10\/download.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"237\" height=\"160\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-160\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lion Attacking a Horse<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_156\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-156\" class=\"size-full wp-image-156\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/abigailaries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7014\/2018\/10\/250px-Stubbs_-_mares_and_foals_in_a_landscape._1763-68._Tate_Britain..jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"162\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-156\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mares and Foals in a Landscape, 1763\u20131768.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George Stubbs August 25, 1724 &#8211; July 10, 1806 I chose to research George Stubbs because of his clear fascinations of painting horses and various animals.
