"Horse Attacked by a Lion" is a renowned painting by the English artist George Stubbs, created in 1762. Stubbs, who is best known for his detailed and realistic depictions of horses, was also fascinated by the anatomy and the natural world, which is reflected in this dramatic work. The painting captures a moment of intense action and raw animalistic power, as a lion pounces on the back of a rearing horse in a life-and-death struggle.

The composition of "Horse Attacked by a Lion" is particularly notable for its dynamic energy and the anatomical precision with which Stubbs renders the animals. The artist's understanding of equine anatomy, gained through extensive study and dissection, is evident in the musculature and pose of the horse. Similarly, the lion is depicted with a ferocity and realism that were unprecedented at the time.

Measuring 242.9 x 333.4 cm, the painting is executed in oil on canvas and is part of a series of works by Stubbs that explore the theme of a lion attacking a horse—a subject that fascinated the artist throughout his career. This particular painting is considered one of the finest examples of Stubbs' exploration of the theme and is often cited as a masterpiece of British art from the 18th century.

"Horse Attacked by a Lion" is not only a testament to Stubbs' artistic skill but also reflects the period's interest in the sublime and the power of nature. The work's emotional impact and its depiction of the struggle for survival in the natural world resonate with the ideas of Romanticism that would come to the fore later in the century.

The painting is held in the collection of the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance. "Horse Attacked by a Lion" remains an important work in the oeuvre of George Stubbs and a key example of the capabilities of the genre of animal painting in the 18th century.
