Overview

This exhibition reunites two great Yorkshire pictures – Whistlejacket and Scrub – for the first time in 250 years.

Both are remarkable works of 18th century painting by George Stubbs. Stripped back to minimal background, they both focus on the central figure of the horse.

Additionally, the show includes a number of significant loans from trusts and private collections to create a background to this significant period in Stubbs' career and show him to be a pioneering painter who brought together scientific endeavour and consummate artistry.
