Grey Arab Stallion. From the original oil painting by John Wootton 1687-1765. John Wootton (ca.1682 -1764) was an English painter of sporting subjects, battle scenes and landscapes. Born in Snitterfield, Warwickshire (near Stratford-upon-Avon), he is best remembered as a pioneer in the painting of sporting subjects, and was considered the finest practitioner of the genre in his day. As such, his paintings were very fashionable and were sought after by those among the highest strata of the British society - George II of England, Frederick, Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Marlborough. He is now somewhat eclipsed in the field of animal paintings by the later George Stubbs (1724-1806), who is considered technically superior. John Wootton died in London on November 13, 1764. ©TopFoto.
