"Lion Attacking a Horse" is a painting by the British artist George Stubbs, renowned for his detailed and realistic depictions of animals. Completed in 1762, this work is part of a series that explores the dramatic theme of a lion attacking a horse, a subject that Stubbs revisited several times throughout his career. The painting is a striking example of Stubbs's skill in portraying the anatomy of animals with scientific precision while also capturing the ferocity and dynamism of the natural world.

The composition of "Lion Attacking a Horse" is characterized by a powerful sense of movement and tension. The lion is depicted in mid-pounce, its body stretched out as it clings to the flanks of the rearing horse. The equine figure is shown in a state of panic and pain, its muscles tensed and eyes wide with fear. Stubbs's use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts between light and dark, enhances the dramatic effect of the scene and emphasizes the muscular forms of the animals.

Stubbs's interest in such violent encounters between animals may have been influenced by classical antiquity, as similar motifs were common in Roman art. His dedication to anatomical accuracy was supported by his extensive studies of equine and feline anatomy, which included dissecting horses to better understand their structure. "Lion Attacking a Horse" not only reflects Stubbs's artistic prowess but also his engagement with the intellectual and scientific inquiries of his time, particularly the study of natural history.

The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of animal painting in the 18th century and is considered one of Stubbs's masterpieces. It is often cited as an example of the sublime in art, where the depiction of nature's power and the portrayal of dramatic and terrifying scenes evoke a sense of awe and fear in the viewer. "Lion Attacking a Horse" remains an important work in the oeuvre of George Stubbs and a significant piece in the history of British art.
