Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
George Stubbs was an English painter, best known for his paintings of horses. He was born in Liverpool, the son of a currier and leather merchant. Information on his life up to age thirty-five is sparse, relying almost entirely on notes made by fellow artist Ozias Humphry towards the end of Stubbs's life. Stubbs worked at his father's trade until he was 15 or 16, and after his father's death in 1741 was briefly apprenticed to a Lancashire painter and engraver named Hamlet Winst (showing 500 of 4833 characters). |
