'A Horse Affrighted by a Lion', 1777. The picture is intended to express the terror of the horse and to invite the spectator to identify with the innocent and beautiful victim. The sublime emotional intensity is reinforced by the stormy weather and the wild landscape. Stubbs has transferred a formula for expressing human terror - staring eyes, stretched nostrils, bared teeth - to his animal subject. The design exploits the increasing sympathy felt in the late eighteenth century for animals in distress and for victims of cruelty in general. PD, 1865-1-14-909.
