Whistlejacket
Fine Print on Paper or Canvas
Image size: 36 x 30 inches (91.5 x 76 cm)
Perhaps the greatest horse portrait ever painted...Whistlejacket was foaled in 1749 at Belsay Castle, Northumberland. Purchased around 1756 by the 2nd Marquess of Rockingham (later to be Prime Minister of Great Britain twice) Whistlejacket lost only four times in his long racing career but he was famously tempramental and hard to handle. Stubbs's huge painting (around 10 feet by 8) with its extraordinary empty background is one of the most striking and powerful images of a horse ever painted.
