info about George Stubbs :
Stubbs remained a secondary figure in British art until the mid-twentieth century.
The art historian Basil Taylor and art collector Paul Mellon both championed Stubbs’s work.
Stubbs’s Pumpkin with a Stable-lad was the first painting that Mellon bought in 1936.
Basil Taylor was commissioned in 1955 by Pelican Press to write the book Animal Painting in England – From Barlow to Landseer,
which included a large segment on Stubbs.
In 1959 Mellon and Taylor first met and bonded over their appreciation of Stubbs.
