EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Stubbs' masterpiece, "Two Shafto Mares and a Foal" painted in 1774. The oil on panel artwork measures 80x100.3 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Commissioned by Robert Shafto, an esteemed horse breeder of the time, this painting captures the grace and beauty of these magnificent creatures. In this composition, two mares stand side by side with their foal nestled between them. Their sleek bodies are meticulously rendered with exquisite attention to detail, showcasing Stubbs' mastery of capturing equine anatomy. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, highlighting the horses' muscular forms against a neutral background. The significance of this painting lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its historical context as it was created for Robert Shafto himself. As a renowned horse breeder, Shafto sought to immortalize his prized animals through Stubbs' brushstrokes. This print allows us to appreciate Stubbs' talent from centuries ago while offering insight into the world of horse breeding during that era. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal and timeless beauty found within equestrian art.
