George Stubb Research Paper
George Stubbs was born in Liverpool on August 25, 1724. He worked for his dad until
16 when his dad passed away. Then he was briefly apprenticed to a painter and a engraver,
which is where he began learning about art. Since then, as an artist he was self-taught. In the
1740s he worked as a portrait painter in the North of England. Ever since he was a child he also
had an interest in anatomy. He studied human anatomy for six years at York County Hospital.
All of these things mentioned helped George Stubbs build up to his highest potential.
Later in the 1750s he rented a farmhouse and stayed there for 18 months. There he
spent time dissecting horses to learn all about their bodies. In 1766 he published, The anatomy
