"Horse Devoured by a Lion" is a painting by the renowned British artist George Stubbs, created in 1763. Stubbs is best known for his detailed and anatomically precise depictions of animals, particularly horses. This painting marks a departure from his usual serene and elegant equestrian subjects, presenting a dramatic and violent scene instead.

The artwork depicts a lion attacking a horse, capturing the raw intensity and struggle between the two animals. The composition is dynamic, with the lion's powerful form dominating the scene as it sinks its teeth into the horse's back. The horse, in a state of distress, is portrayed with its head thrown back and legs flailing, emphasizing the drama and tension of the moment.

Stubbs's interest in anatomy is evident in the meticulous rendering of the animals' musculature and movement. This attention to detail reflects his background in studying animal anatomy, which included dissecting horses to understand their structure better. His scientific approach to art allowed him to create lifelike and accurate representations, which were highly regarded during his time.

The painting is often interpreted as a reflection of the natural world's brutality and the predator-prey relationship. It also showcases Stubbs's ability to convey emotion and movement, setting it apart from his more tranquil works. The use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's eye to the central action.

"Horse Devoured by a Lion" is part of a series of works by Stubbs exploring similar themes, and it remains one of his most striking and memorable pieces. It is housed in the Yale Center for British Art, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. The painting exemplifies Stubbs's mastery in combining scientific observation with artistic expression, making it a notable example of 18th-century British art.
