John Rattenbury Skeaping
John Rattenbury Skeaping is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
John Skeaping spent his life among animals, sketching horses in stables before breakfast and deer in the dusk. He looked at their bones and muscles so long he could draw a running cheetah from memory. The British Museum still uses his 1935 bronze horse as the go-to model for anatomy classes. If you’ve ever wanted to see how life moves on paper, pull up his “Antelope, probably a Dinken of the genus Cephalophus” and watch the pencil do the walking.
