Whistlejacket by George Stubbs

Whistlejacket (1762)

George Stubbs | Georgian era painting | Oil on canvas

A powerful horse rears up against a plain background. No rider, no scenery - just pure horse magnificence!

Did you know? Whistlejacket was a real racehorse who won a four-mile race at York in 1759, and this life-size portrait is almost 10 feet tall! The story goes that when he saw the nearly finished painting, he tried to fight it like a rival horse, but experts think that tale is probably too good to be true.
