London CNN —A painting by British artist George Stubbs is expected to sell for up to £2 million ($2.5 million) in London next week, as it comes to auction for the first time in more than 50 years. “The Spanish Pointer” is the artist’s earliest dog painting and is considered one of his most famous pieces of work, according to Sotheby’s. “The Spanish Pointer” also went on to become a popular painting, with Stubbs creating two versions of it and several copies being produced. The painting depicts a breed of the pointer dog, which was introduced to England from Spain in the early 18th century. “The Spanish Pointer” will be available to view in Sotheby’s exhibition of old master and 19th century paintings until early December.

☆ Why the first European paintings of Australian animals look so alien to our eyes
  + stars: | 2023-08-24 | by ( Janelle Evans | University Of Melbourne | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
To our modern eyes, the paintings lack the vitality and strength of the animals we are familiar with in Australia. So why did his paintings of the dingo and kangaroo — some of the earliest European representations of Australian animals — look so strange? "Pumpkin with a Stable-lad," a 1774 George Stubbs painting of the racehorse Pumpkin. But Stubbs’ kangaroo more closely resembles the rat-like Gerbua of Banks’ description than the creature we know today. My paintings of unfamiliar landscapes in Scotland and Ireland always seem to depict trees that look like eucalypts.
