EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Stubbs' meticulous study of a tiger's lateral view, specifically focusing on the diagram illustrating its subcutaneous blood supply. Created between 1795 and 1806, this artwork is part of Stubbs' larger project titled "A Comparative Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body with that of a Tiger and a Common Fowl". Measuring at an impressive 39.4x52.1 cm, this graphite drawing with red chalk on thin wove paper offers viewers a glimpse into the intricate internal anatomy of these majestic creatures. Stubbs, renowned for his anatomical accuracy in depicting animals, demonstrates his mastery once again through this piece. The composition captures both scientific precision and artistic finesse as it delves into the hidden workings beneath the tiger's skin. The delicate lines and shading bring depth to each vein and artery depicted in the diagram, revealing how blood flows throughout its body. Displayed within Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this work exemplifies Stubbs' dedication to merging art and biology seamlessly. It serves as a testament to his status as an esteemed anatomist who sought to unravel nature's mysteries through detailed observation. Richard Caspole skillfully captures this remarkable artwork through photography, allowing us to appreciate not only Stubbs' genius but also Caspole's ability to convey its essence visually. This image invites us into a world where science meets artistry—a realm where we can marvel at both nature's complexity and human creativity simultaneously.
