Celebrate the 300th birthday of artist, George Stubbs, this summer!
Join Wentworth Woodhouse this summer as they celebrate the 300th birthday of artist, George Stubbs, by returning his paintings and displaying them there publicly for the first time!
George Stubbs has long been revered as a ground-breaking and curious artist, possessing an exceptional ability to present animals with a human-like quality. In 1762, Stubbs spent some time at Wentworth Woodhouse, working on paintings commissioned by the Second Marquess of Rockingham.
In their largest exhibition to-date, Beneath the Surface will feature Stubbs’ work alongside pieces by contemporary artists, including Ugo Rondinone, Mark Wallinger and Tracey Emin, who have drawn on similar themes. These artists also look beneath the surface, exploring animal and human experiences through their innovative and thought-provoking work.
The exhibition will also be accompanied by a vibrant programme of workshops, talks and tours to help everyone get the most from the artworks on display.
