 Far more than a fine horse portraitist, George Stubbs was a painter and a printmaker of the highest importance, on a par with his great contemporaries Hogarth, Reynolds and Gainsborough. An artist / scientist who emulated Leonardo da Vinci, Stubbs tirelessly explored the natural world and new ways of representing it. Born the son of a Liverpool tradesman, Stubbs was self-taught and first struggled in obscurity as a northern provincial painter. Robin Blake's book uncovers Stubb's origins and some of the secrets of his youth: sympathy with the Jacobite rebels and Catholocism; and a previously undocumented wife and family in York. A 'niece', Mary, became his mistress and lifelong companion, working alongside him as he dissected the carcasses of horses. In 1766, he published these investigations as The Anatomy Of The Horse, which was his breakthrough, leading to commissions from the most powerful men in Georgian Britain. By tracing the network of patronage and friendship through which George Stubbs operated, Robin Blake reveals the remarkable succession of animals, people and ideas which inspired him. Stubbs emerges as a man of huge energy and complex sensibility whose artistry was informed by science, politics, literature, classical art and - above all - nature itself. Hard cover, with brown boards and dust jacket, in good condition.

Is the threat genuine? Who or what is the Red Hand? Someone is killing John's men, and the obvious culprit - the most dangerous man in the Kingdom, Hood himself - has an alibi even Guy can't deny.
