Did you know? George Stubbs was renowned for his anatomical accuracy in depicting animals, particularly horses. To achieve this level of realism, he famously spent years dissecting horses and studying their anatomy in meticulous detail. He even published a groundbreaking book, "The Anatomy of the Horse," in 1766, which became a standard reference work for artists and veterinarians for many years. This dedication to scientific observation and anatomical precision is what sets his animal portraits apart and makes them so enduringly admired.
