"A Horse Frightened by a Lion" is a renowned painting by the English artist George Stubbs, who is celebrated for his exceptional depictions of horses. This dramatic work, dating from 1770, is an oil on canvas that showcases Stubbs's mastery in rendering equine anatomy and his interest in the theme of the sublime, reflecting the 18th-century fascination with nature's power and the emotional responses it could evoke.

The painting illustrates a moment of intense drama as a wild horse is seen rearing in terror at the sight of a lurking lion, which embodies the raw and untamed force of nature. Stubbs's composition is notable for its dynamic energy and the stark contrast between the panicked horse and the predatory calmness of the lion. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow heightens the emotional impact of the scene, emphasizing the vulnerability and fear experienced by the horse.

Stubbs, born in Liverpool in 1724, was largely self-taught and gained recognition for his anatomical precision, which he developed through rigorous study, including the dissection of horses to better understand their musculature and form. His dedication to the accurate portrayal of these animals earned him a reputation as one of the foremost equine painters of his time.

"A Horse Frightened by a Lion" is part of a series of works by Stubbs that explore similar themes of nature's ferocity and the animalian response to danger. The painting is a testament to Stubbs's enduring legacy in British art and his influence on the development of animal painting. It remains an important work within the canon of 18th-century British art, offering insight into the era's aesthetic values and the cultural preoccupations with nature, emotion, and the sublime.
