Rachel Stubbs (XX-XXI) - Alba Tempestate

“Alba Tempestate” by Rachel Stubbs is a striking contemporary equestrian painting that captures the energy, elegance and untamed spirit of a rearing white horse. Set against a dramatic, atmospheric background, the composition focuses on the animal’s powerful movement and sculptural form, creating a sense of motion and vitality.

The horse’s flowing mane, raised forelegs and muscular posture are rendered with careful attention to anatomical detail and expressive brushwork. The contrast between the luminous white coat and the deep, earthy tones of the surrounding scene enhances the painting’s dramatic presence, while the subtle highlights bring depth and texture to the animal’s form.

Rachel Stubbs combines traditional equestrian imagery with a contemporary artistic sensibility, creating a work that will appeal to collectors of horse paintings, animal art and expressive figurative painting. “Alba Tempestate” offers a compelling portrayal of freedom, strength and movement, making it a distinctive addition to a contemporary art collection.
