Britain's What's On Event Guide
George Stubbs Anniversary Event with the National Gallery
To celebrate 300 years since the birth of the famous equine artist, George Stubbs, Goodwood welcomes Christine Riding, Director of Collections at the National Gallery, to discuss Stubbs’s extraordinary skill and fascinating career, with a Champagne and canapé reception in the State Apartments of Goodwood House at 6.30pm on Thursday 10 October 2024.
Stubbs revolutionised the painting of horses and animals, launching his career at Goodwood under the patronage of the 3rd Duke of Richmond. The paintings displayed at Goodwood House and the National Gallery show his astonishing artistic development.
This event is a chance to delve into Stubbs’ life and career, discover his extraordinary talent, and get up close to the significant works by Stubbs on display at Goodwood House. It is also an opportunity to view a newly acquired oil sketch by Stubbs, which has never before been shown to the public.
It is an evening not to be missed!
