      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">William Etty was an English painter, best known for his paintings of nudes. He was born at York. In accordance with the wishes of his father he served seven years of apprenticeship to a printer of Hull. He was, however, enabled to prosecute his studies in painting through the generosity of his uncle, William Etty, who in 1806 invited him to London. In 1807 he entered the Royal Academy School, studying under Henry Fuseli, and he also studied privately for a year under under Sir Thomas Lawrence, whose influence for some time dominated his art.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Duet</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He copied a great deal from the old masters in the National Gallery and was a constant student in the Life School of the Academy, even after he had become an Adademician. He paid a brief visit to Paris and Florence in 1816, and in 1822 he took a longer journey to Italy, spending most of his time in Venice. From his studies of the Venetian masters he acquired that excellence in color for which his works are chiefly known.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Window in Venice</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">His works are exhibited extensively in major British galleries. On his return to England in 1824, his “Pandora Crowned by the Seasons” was much applauded, and he was made a member of the National Academy in 1828. From this time he was very successful and attained a good competence. He resided in London until 1848, but on account of failing health he retired to York, where he died.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Study of a Peacock</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Etty painted very unequally. His work at its best possesses great charm of color, especially in the glowing, but thoroughly realistic, flesh tints. The composition is good, but his drawing is sometimes faulty, and his work usually lacks life and originality. He often endeavored to inculcate moral lessons by his pictures. He himself considered his best works to be “The Combat,” the three “Judith” pictures, “Beniah, David’s Chief Captain” (all in the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh, “Ulysses and the Sirens” (Manchester Gallery), and the three pictures of Joan of Arc.” He is also represented in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and in English provincial museums, and in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, by “The Three Graces”, considered by many his masterpiece.</p>
