Paul Mellon collected George Stubbs with a passion and an instinctual feel for his qualities. The very first painting Mellon ever purchased was Stubbs’s Pumpkin with a Stable-Lad (1774). He also collected Stubbs comprehensively, even systematically, acquiring drawings, prints, enamels, and Stubbs’s only publication, The Anatomy of the Horse. There is a range and a depth to this collection that no other public or private collection can rival. — —
The Center published a handsome, fully-illustrated book to accompany this exhibition. Designed by Greer Allen and Julie Lavorgna, it has an introductory essay by Malcolm Cormack, Paul Mellon Curator at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and contributions by the curatorial staff of the Center. The book formed part of the Center’s tribute to its munificent founder and brought together for the first time the most remarkable and comprehensive collection of George Stubbs ever created. — —

For the first time since it opened to the public in 1977, the Center exhibited eighty of its greatest masterpieces outside the walls of the museum. The show, spanning four hundred years of British painting, was divided into thematic sections that illustrated the history of British culture and painting from the sixteenth century through modern times. The exhibition provided a narrative of Paul Mellon as a major collector of British art and highlighted his enormous contributions that established the museum’s collection.

Stubbs painted a number of variations on the theme of a horse being attacked by a lion. Given that animal painting was regarded by connoisseurs and theorists as one of the lowest branches of art, he was quite deliberately testing its limits, showing animals in the kind of serious, dramatic encounter normally reserved for scenes from human history, the Bible, and myth. His horse-and-lion paintings evoke a world of savagery and danger, in which an animal so familiar to mankind as to seem part of civilization falls victim to the merciless law of the jungle. Always the horse's facial expression is anthropomorphic, like the equine translation of a head of "Terror" in one of the textbooks of physiognomy that were so popular at this time. In its extreme emotional and physical state the beautiful creature becomes "sublime" (a key term in later eighteenth-century artistic thinking), intended gently to touch the viewer's atavistic senses of fear, danger, and awe. ---
Some of his horse-and-lion paintings show the lion's approach, others the actual attack, with the lion sinking its teeth into the horse's back. He treated each episode against a variety of different backgrounds and with horses of different colors. Here the horse seems suddenly to have stopped, throwing its mane and tail forward, on seeing the lion emerge menacingly from the shadows
of a cave. The artist's early biographer records that he studied the pose by having someone frighten an actual horse by pushing a brush along the ground toward it.[1] ---
A much earlier version of the present composition, probably its prototype, was the subject of a poem by Horace Walpole. Clearly Walpole was moved largely by the horse's near-human expression, and suggests that even David Garrick, the great actor of the age, might learn something from it: ---
I feel his feelings: how he stands transfix'd! ---
How all the passions in his mien are mix'd! ---
How apprehension, horror, hatred, fear, ---
In one expression, are concenter'd there! ---
In terms pathetic we peruse his pain, ---
And read his pang through each transparent vein. ---
Through that stretch'd nostril see each feeling fly, ---
And Garrick's self might study close that eye…[2] ---
Walpole saw the earlier version at the Society of Artists exhibition of 1763. It can be identi?ed as one showing the lion and horse more or less as they appear in the present version, but with a different landscape setting, based on Creswell Crags (see nos. 44-47); the work is now in a private collection.3 In 1777 Stubbs published his own engraving from this, showing the design in reverse, and in 1780 he used the engraving as the basis for a plaster mold from which ceramic bas-reliefs were cast by Wedgwood.4 Like many of Stubbs's compositions, the Horse Frightened by a Lion was designed in a relief-like form in the first place, and so lent itself naturally to casting in actual relief. Clearly he considered it successful, and the present painted version is datable on stylistic grounds to the early 1790s, some thirty years after the prototype. --- ---
