Did You Know? While a popular legend says Stubbs witnessed this event in North Africa, it's more likely he was inspired by a Hellenistic Roman sculpture of a lion attacking a horse which he saw during his travels to Italy. He spent the next thirty years perfecting his own vision of this primal conflict.
