A Lion Attacking a Horse

A Lion Attacking a Horse is the name of an original oil on canvas painting by the English painter George Stubbs, from 1762. Stubbs created a total of 17 paintings on this theme for about thirty years. These paintings all depict a horse being attacked by a lion, which jumps onto its back to sinks its claws into it, while emphasizing the horse's sense of terror and his pain. Apparently inspired by an Italian marble statue, these paintings were widely copied, among others by Théodore Géricault. The original painting is held at the Yale Center for British Art, in New Haven.
