ANATOMICAL ACCURACY
THE MAJESTIC
MOOSE
Stubbs paintings of animals such as his famous moose, are characterized by absolute accuracy of details and act at the same time extremely lifelike. As an anatomist, Stubbs was particularly interested in depicting the muscles and the musculoskeletal system of animals. But it was also important for him to give them a visible personality.
