George Stubbs: 'all done from Nature' presents the first significant overview of Stubbs's work in Britain for more than 10 years and brings together 100 paintings, drawings and publications, from the National Gallery's 'Whistlejacket' to pieces that have never been seen in public. A major theme of the exhibition is anatomy. The show includes Stubbs's contributions to a pioneering treatise on midwifery and his preliminary work on 'A Comparative Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body with that of a Tiger and a Common Fowl'. It also includes the detailed studies and drawings that led to The Anatomy of the Horse the greatest coming together of art and science in British art alongside the actual skeleton of the legendary racehorse Eclipse who Stubbs depicted on several occasions. Exhibition: MK Gallery, Milton Keynes, UK (11.10.2019-26.01.2020) / Mauritshuis, The Hague, The Netherlands (20.02.-01.06.2020)
