George Stubbs was an eighteenth century English painter, famous for his detailed depictions of horses. His scientifically accurate and emotionally resonant portraits of animals elevated the subject to a high art form. His unparalleled skill stemmed from years of self-taught anatomical study, allowing him to capture the precise muscle structure and individual personality of his subjects. Stubbs was a versatile artist that painted varied subjects, including exotic animals, portraits, history paintings and "conversation pieces". For many art historians, he serves as a strong precursor to the Romantic movement, best demonstrated by his dramatic and intense series of paintings depicting a lion attacking a horse. Delphi's Masters of Art Series presents the world's first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Stubbs' complete paintings, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
