Painting Description
"Tiger, lateral view, skin removed" is a striking anatomical illustration by the British painter George Stubbs, renowned for his detailed and realistic depictions of animals. Created between 1795 and 1806, this work is 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." The project reflects Stubbs's deep interest in anatomy and his ambition to compare the anatomical structures of different species.
The illustration showcases a tiger in lateral view with its skin removed, revealing the underlying musculature and anatomical structure. Stubbs's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the complexity of the animal's physique are evident in this work. The illustration serves not only as a work of art but also as an educational tool, providing insights into the comparative anatomy of a tiger.
Stubbs's dedication to anatomical accuracy was such that he reportedly spent 18 months dissecting horses to prepare for his famous series of equine anatomy paintings. His work on "A Comparative Anatomical Exposition..." extended this rigorous scientific approach to other species. The project was ambitious for its time, aiming to contribute to the scientific understanding of anatomy through the lens of art.
The illustration is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the field of natural history and the study of anatomy in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It exemplifies the intersection of art and science during the Enlightenment, a period that valued empirical observation and the cataloging of knowledge. George Stubbs's "Tiger, lateral view, skin removed" remains an important historical artifact, reflecting the era's quest for understanding the natural world through detailed observation and artistic representation.
