EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable study of a tiger standing in human posture, taken from George Stubbs' renowned work "A Comparative Anatomical Exposition of the Structure of the Human Body with that of a Tiger and a Common Fowl" created between 1795-1806. The graphite on thin wove paper beautifully captures the intricate details and lifelike essence of this majestic creature. George Stubbs, an esteemed anatomist and artist, masterfully depicts the internal anatomy of both humans and animals through his meticulous artwork. This particular piece offers viewers a unique glimpse into the similarities and differences between our own structure and that of these powerful felines. The composition itself is awe-inspiring, as it portrays the tiger confidently assuming an upright position typically associated with humans. Its muscular physique is expertly rendered, showcasing Stubbs' keen eye for detail. The juxtaposition between its wild nature and human-like stance creates an intriguing visual narrative that sparks curiosity about our shared biological origins. Housed within Yale Center for British Art's prestigious Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this 18th-century masterpiece continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide. Bernie C. Staggers skillfully captures its essence through this stunning photo print, allowing us to appreciate Stubbs' genius even from afar. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image, we are reminded not only of the beauty found in nature but also of humanity's eternal fascination with understanding our place within it.
