The story behind the motif
Poster with the dramatic painting Lion Attacking a Horse (year 1762) by the British artist George Stubbs (1724-1806). Stubbs is one of the most well-known animal painters of the 18th century, famous for his lifelike and anatomically precise depictions of animals.
The painting shows a powerful and intense moment when a lion attacks a horse in wild panic. The scene is typical of Stubbs' dramatic choice of subjects, where he combines scientific accuracy with strong emotional charge. The contrast between the wild predator and the frightened horse creates a motif full of movement and drama.
During his career, Stubbs worked mainly in London and established himself as a central figure in British animal painting. In this work, his characteristic style is clearly visible: balanced proportions, carefully studied bodies and a play between light and shadow that gives the subject both realism and intensity.
