George Thomas Paice (24 November 1854 – 14 March 1925) was a British landscape, canine, hunting, and equestrian painter.

Born in Pimlico, London, Paice studied at the Heatherley School of Fine Art* and at the Royal Academy of London* from 1905-1910. He worked mostly for private collectors, his paintings almost never present at public exhibitions. Nevertheless, he did exhibit his works at the Royal Academy and at the Royal Society of British Artists*, gaining notoriety among the wealthy. 

He was quickly a much sought-after artist by the English aristocracy encouraging his work. Probably for that reason, most of his paintings remained in private collections until two decades ago when some of those works appeared in world known Auction Houses such as Christie's (South Kensington, 20/06/91).
After his marriage in 1879, he and his wife, Eunice Mary Stuart, moved to Croydon where Paice painted most of his horses and dogs, although he did paint some point-to-point landscapes, these larger than the usually small format animal portraits he was commissioned to paint. Among the most known and famous artworks of Paice are The Red Lion Inn, Wendlesbury, Nr. Bicester, Oxfordshire, Jenny' a bay hunter in a landscape, and A saddled bay hunter in a stable with a goat.
