A thoroughly modern master of the horse: George Stubbs at 300
Briefly

The upcoming exhibition, 'Beneath the Surface,' celebrates the legacy of George Stubbs, showcasing his artworks alongside contemporary artists who draw inspiration from his equestrian themes.
Stubbs's ability to blend scientific accuracy with emotional depth in his portraits marks him as a significant figure in the 18th-century art scene, comparable to Gainsborough.
This exhibition not only commemorates Stubbs's work but also highlights the importance of Wentworth Woodhouse as a historical site, aiming to connect its past with contemporary artistry.
The Trustees of Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust view 'Beneath the Surface' as pivotal for the future of the house, making it their most ambitious exhibition to date.
