Kimbell Art Museum Announces New George Stubbs Work – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

NBC 5, Telemundo 39 and the Kimbell Art Museum invite you to come see the museum’s latest masterwork acquisition, which opened last Friday. The work was painted by European artist George Stubbs between 1761 and 1762. The work is known for being one of Stubbs’ earliest works depicting horses, a subject he would spend much of his life painting with unprecedented precision.

The Kimbell Art Foundation acquired this work in memory of Ben J. Fortson, who served on the foundation’s board of trustees from 1964 until his death in May. The elegant 6-by-3-foot canvas enhances the museum’s collection of 18th-century British paintings.
