EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense fear and danger in the animal kingdom. Titled "A Horse Frightened by a Lion" it is based on an original painting by George Stubbs, one of the most renowned British artists of the 18th century. Created in 1788, this engraving beautifully depicts a horse recoiling in terror as it encounters a fearsome lion. The composition exudes a sense of tension and drama, showcasing Stubbs' mastery in capturing emotions through his art. The romanticist style adds to the intensity of the scene, evoking feelings of anguish and anxiety within the viewer. In this wild encounter between predator and prey, we witness not only the horse's instinctual fear but also its vulnerability against nature's ferocity. The image serves as a reminder that even mighty creatures can be startled and afraid when faced with imminent danger. The Art Gallery of Ontario proudly houses this remarkable piece, acquired in 1981. Measuring at 25x33.1 cm, it showcases Stubbs' meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of mixed methods on laid paper. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images, we are transported into an untamed world where several animals coexist – racehorses, ponies, shire horses – all sharing their own stories amidst the wilderness. It is truly a testament to both Stubbs' artistic prowess and our enduring fascination with wildlife.
