EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, titled "The Sebra, or Wild Ass" transports us back to the year 1771 when British artist George Townley Stubbs engraved this remarkable piece. The artwork showcases a stunning portrait of a Zebra, which was kept at Buckingham House during that time. Stubbs' attention to detail is evident in every stroke and shading of this exquisite print. The intricate patterns on the Zebra's coat come alive as they intertwine with each other, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle. The artist's mastery of mezzotint technique adds depth and texture to the image, making it almost lifelike. As we gaze upon this magnificent creature captured within the frame, we are reminded of its wild nature despite being held captive. This juxtaposition between captivity and untamed beauty evokes contemplation about our own relationship with wildlife and nature. "The Sebra" serves as a testament to Stubbs' talent for capturing not only physical likeness but also the essence of his subjects. Through his artistry, he invites us into an intimate encounter with this African animal, allowing us to appreciate its unique charm and allure. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made accessible through www. bridgemanart. com. Its historical significance combined with its aesthetic appeal makes it an invaluable addition to any art enthusiast's collection or anyone seeking inspiration from nature's wonders.
