Painting Description
"Tiger, Lateral View, Skin Removed" is a notable anatomical artwork by the English painter George Stubbs, renowned for his realistic depictions of horses and other animals. This work forms part of a larger project titled "A Comparative Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body with that of a Tiger and a Common Fowl," which was an ambitious endeavor by Stubbs to explore the anatomy of different species and compare them to human anatomy. The project reflects Stubbs's deep interest in natural history and his meticulous approach to understanding the mechanics and structures underlying the animal form.
Completed in the 18th century, this series of engravings was based on Stubbs's own dissections and studies, which he undertook over a period of 18 months, starting in 1795. "Tiger, Lateral View, Skin Removed" specifically showcases the musculature and skeletal structure of a tiger with its skin removed, providing a detailed view of the animal's powerful physique. The work is characteristic of Stubbs's scientific accuracy and artistic skill, blending the disciplines of art and science in a manner that was innovative for its time.
Stubbs's comparative anatomical studies were not published in his lifetime, but the surviving drawings and engravings have since been recognized for their contribution to the fields of art and anatomy. "Tiger, Lateral View, Skin Removed" is particularly significant as it exemplifies the intersection of Enlightenment-era scientific inquiry with the artistic pursuit of representing the natural world. The work remains an important historical artifact, shedding light on the methodologies of 18th-century scientific illustration and the broader cultural fascination with the natural sciences during the period.
