"Liverpool Leonardo"
George Stubbs (1724 - 1806) was born in Liverpool. His pictures are not to my taste especially those bloody horses and dogs but if I'm in the National Gallery this summer I'll probably take a look. Starts June 29th.
Or maybe not, I've just seen the prices!

Hey Ian, Stubbs paintings are some of the finest in art history... I hope you will see the originals. Those are so well painted, the compositions are outstanding. I would like to own one of the Trouts of Courbet, or the Origin of the World, or a George Stubbs, yes one of those horses. I can imagine that the prices are high, not for nothing.
