The story behind the motif
Poster with the dynamic painting Hound Coursing a Stag (in 1762) by the British artist George Stubbs (1724–1806). Stubbs is known as one of the foremost animal painters of the 18th century and was renowned for his lifelike depictions of horses, dogs and wild animals.
The painting shows an intense hunting scene where several dogs pursue a deer across an open landscape. Stubbs combines drama with scientific accuracy, something that characterizes his artistic style after years of studying animal anatomy.
During his career, Stubbs worked mainly in London and was highly regarded for his realistic and detailed works. In this painting, his sense of movement, proportion and light are clearly visible - qualities that have made him a central figure in British nature and animal painting.
