George Stubbs Biography

George Stubbs belongs to the artists whose names are re-discovered in the 20th century. At his time he was known only to a narrow circle of aristocratic sportsmen and horse lovers, for his contemporaries he was a mere horse-painter. A broadened critical view of the 20th century revealed the full extent of his achievement, his innovations and exceptional originality and power. His works are still mostly, with some exceptions, in private collections in the houses for which they were executed. This, of course, restricts the number of his admirers. But his reassessment has lifted him to the level of the greatest of his time.
