イングランドのリヴァプールに生まれました。ほとんど独学で絵と解剖学を学び、馬の骨や筋肉を自分の手で調べて、正確で生き生きとした馬の絵を描きました。等身大の馬『ホイッスルジャケット』は代表作です。カンガルーやシマウマ、チーター、サイなど、当時のイギリスではめずらしい動物も描き、動物画の第一人者になりました。
Stubbs was born in Liverpool, England. He taught himself painting and anatomy, and studied the bones and muscles of horses with his own hands. This made his horse paintings accurate and full of life. His life-size horse, Whistlejacket, is his masterpiece. He also painted animals that were rare in Britain, such as a kangaroo, a zebra, a cheetah and a rhinoceros.
