It is also widely acknowledged to be George Stubbs’s masterpiece. The Arabian chestnut stallion had won a famous victory at York in 1759, but by 1762 had been retired from racing. He belonged to the 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, who commissioned Stubbs to paint a commemorative life-size portrait of his prize horse on a scale that was more appropriate for a group portrait or historical painting.\n\nStubbs excludes any reference to a rider, riding equipment or location, painting the magnificent rearing horse against a neutral background of pale gold. Despite suggestions that a rider was originally planned, Whistlejacket was always meant to be unmounted. Free from human control, the riderless horse is the embodiment of unrestrained natural energy, a free spirit that prefigures Romanticism’s celebration of nature.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/george-stubbs-whistlejacket\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Whistlejacket\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Stubbs","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509580796147,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (116 5\/8\" x 97 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509580828915,"sku":null,"price":16509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (19 1\/2\" x 16 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509580861683,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24\" x 20 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509580894451,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (29 3\/8\" x 24 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509580927219,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (37 7\/8\" x 31 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509580959987,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (45 3\/8\" x 38\")","offer_id":50509580992755,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (53 1\/2\" x 44 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509581025523,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (64 1\/4\" x 53 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509581058291,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/Whistlejacket.jpg?v=1789107736","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/whistlejacket-ngal593","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
