#TextileTuesday: look closely, it’s a “needlepainting!” A favorite piece from the “Making Her Mark: A History of #WomenArtists in Europe, 1400-1800” exhibition at Baltimore Museum of Art:

Mary Linwood (British, 1755-1845) after George Stubbs (British, 1724-1806) Tygress, c. 1798 Worsted wool needlework

“The vibrant copper, red, and green passages in this copy after George Stubb's painting Tygress are rendered not in paint but stitched in dyed wool thread. By the 1780s, Mary Linwood had become famous for her ‘needlepaintings,’ which she exhibited at the Society of Artists in London.

Later, she opened her own public exhibition of her works that debuted in London and then toured to cities in Scotland and Ireland; in 1806, she opened her own gallery in Leicester Square in London, where this work was shown. Her gallery remained a major attraction for nearly forty years.”

Equine artist George Stubbs studied dead horses anatomy, revealing their muscles and Skelton himself as if he were a surgeon. 🩸

Drawing horses is my fixation at the moment ( not to the extent of Stubbs) but im having fun studying their anatomy, It is true that when your an artist, you end up obsessing over lots of other things, I’ve studied the human skeleton, just so I can draw portraits more accurately, and every muscle in the human body, just to get my life drawing right. I know how many petals are on a particular flower, and I know the hair pattern growth on many animals. It certainly takes an obsession 🤍

This actually wasn't what I was planning to post today, but I remembered having done it awhile back and thought that with the horsemania currently going on, it was a better fit.

The painting is "Whistlejacket" by George Stubbs, a British painter of the late 18th century. The National Gallery (London) claims this is "one of the most important British paintings of the eighteenth century," "probably the most well-known portrait of a horse," and "widely acknowledged to be George Stubbs' masterpiece." The Arabian chestnut stallion won a famous victory at the races in York in 1759, but by 1762 had retired from racing. His owner, the 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, commissioned Stubbs to paint a commemorative life-size portrait of his prize horse.

George Stubbs is actually very well known for painting horses, and supposedly doing so accurately. One hopes his paintings would be accurate, as he spent 18 months in a rural part of England dissecting horses to learn their anatomy. He even published the results of these studies of horse anatomy. Despite that pedigree, the actual positioning of his horses can be a less than realistic.

English animalier George Stubbs was born #OTD (25 August 1724 – 10 July 1806).

George Stubbs (English, 1724 - 1806)

Portrait of Mrs. French's White Lap Dog, 1782

Painting - enamel on Wedgwood biscuit earthenware

Unframed: 18 × 24 1/2 in. (45.72 × 62.23 cm)

Framed: 26 1/2 × 32 1/2 in. (67.31 × 82.55 cm)

VMFA 93.84

"This painting is unusually well preserved because it was painted with enamel colors and then fired on an earthenware plaque – an endeavor in which Stubbs was assisted by the Enlightenment scientist Josiah Wedgwood. This elaborate and experimental technique was conducive to Stubbs’s highly detailed style, which seems appropriate to the tiny and precious dog that is his subject here."
