George ARA Stubbs
George ARA Stubbs is a Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Stubbs painted lifelike portraits of people wearing fine clothes, often with a background of elegant homes and gardens. In Wedgwood Family Portrait from 1780, he shows a family standing formally, their faces calm and their clothes crisp. Stubbs didn’t belong to a specific art movement, he focused on detailed, realistic scenes.
Notice how the clothing and setting give clues about the family’s wealth and status. Tap Wedgwood Family Portrait to zoom in and see Stubbs’ careful brushwork up close.
