"A Lion Devouring a Horse" is a painting by the British artist George Stubbs, renowned for his detailed and realistic depictions of animals. Created in 1763, this work is part of a series of paintings by Stubbs that explore the theme of a lion attacking a horse, a subject that fascinated the artist and to which he returned several times throughout his career. The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures 96.5 x 127 cm.

The composition of "A Lion Devouring a Horse" is dramatic and intense, capturing the ferocity and raw power of the natural world. It depicts a lion in the midst of overpowering and consuming its equine prey, a scene that is both violent and compelling. The work reflects Stubbs's interest in the anatomy of animals, a subject he studied in depth, and his ability to convey the physicality and movement of his subjects with scientific precision and artistic flair.

Stubbs's fascination with the subject matter is believed to have been inspired by his exposure to the classical tradition, where the motif of a lion attacking a horse can be traced back to antiquity and is found in various forms of art and literature. His interpretation, however, is grounded in the naturalism of the 18th century, showcasing his unique ability to blend classical themes with contemporary approaches to animal painting.

"A Lion Devouring a Horse" is considered an important work in George Stubbs's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in rendering animal subjects with emotional impact and technical mastery. The painting is also significant for its contribution to the Romantic movement, as it prefigures the later Romantic fascination with the sublime and the power of nature. Today, the painting is held in a public collection and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
