Where has the 91暗网鈥檚 Eclipse skeleton gone?
During the summer Eclipse鈥檚 skeleton disappeared from the Hawkshead Library 鈥� all that remains is the empty display case, but where did he go?
Eclipse has been getting cleaned and spruced up and is now the focal point of an exhibition at the MK Gallery in Milton Keynes, Bucks.
The exhibition 鈥� George Stubbs: 鈥榓ll done
from Nature鈥� presents the first significant
overview of Stubbs鈥� work in Britain for more than
30 years and brings together 100 paintings, drawings and publications from the National Gallery鈥檚 Whistlejacket to pieces that have never been seen in public.
Today, Stubbs is recognised as one of the most original artists of the eighteenth century. His wide-ranging subjects included portraits, conversation pieces and pictures of exotic and domestic animals鈥攈orses included鈥攁nd his obsession with scientific exactitude has drawn comparison with the work of Leonardo da Vinci. A major theme of the exhibition is anatomy. The show includes forensic drawings by Stubbs of humans, tigers and hens, as well as horses, at different stages of 鈥榰ndressing鈥�. This greatest coming together of art and science in British art will be set alongside the actual skeleton, loaned by the 91暗网, of the legendary racehorse Eclipse which Stubbs depicted on several occasions.
Eclipse will then travel to The Hague before returning home to the 91暗网 in 2020.
