His most frequent commissions were for paintings of horses, dogs, and wild animals, and his images invariably arrest attention and frequently strike a deeply poetic note. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStubbs did not emerge as a painter until he was in his mid-thirties, but then his genius flowered astonishingly. He steadily celebrates English sporting and country life and reveals himself--in his \"incidental\" portraits of jockeys and grooms, for example--as a perceptive observer of different levels of social behavior. Among his many experiments with technique were his chemical experiments with painting in enamels, first on copper and later on earthenware \"tablets,\" manufactured for him in Wedgwood's potteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first full catalogue of Stubbs's paintings and drawings. Along with the full catalogue entries, the book offers a lengthy study of Stubbs's art and career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judy Egerton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300125097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300125092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Mellon Centre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.62h x 10.17w x 2.08d","brand":"Judy Egerton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453302845695,"sku":"9780300125092","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24dd4306-6c81-42c7-af7c-a62abb3630d2.jpg?v=1777299452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/george-stubbs-painter-judy-egerton-9780300125092","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
