George Stubbs - Buzzard

An animal painter and etcher born Liverpool, he is widely accepted as the master of equine art. He studied anatomy to be a portrait artist, and from this was inspired to study the anatomy of the horse. Dissecting dead horses, he drew and engraved every detail, publishing "The Anatomy of the Horse" in 1766, a book still referred to today.
