NUDE. WILLIAM ETTY (1787 - 1849) ENGLAND, EARLY 19TH CENTURY

NUDE. WILLIAM ETTY (1787 - 1849) ENGLAND, EARLY 19TH CENTURY

A refined example of early 19th-century English academic painting, embodying one of the central themes in the oeuvre of William Etty - the study of the human form through the lens of Classical tradition. The composition is constructed along a diagonal axis: the reclining nude figure is placed freely upon a stone ledge partially covered with drapery, creating an atmosphere of natural ease and painterly spontaneity.The heroine is gently illuminated, her skin rendered in delicate pearlescent tones characteristic of Etty’s technique, in which sensuality is balanced by academic discipline. The surrounding landscape, suggestive of an English park with dense foliage and an opening vista, enhances the Romantic atmosphere of secluded idyll. Nature and beauty are united in a harmonious visual dialogue, echoing the poetic sensibility that marked the transition from late Neoclassicism to early Romanticism.For Etty, the nude was never a provocation but the highest embodiment of artistic ideal, rooted in the Venetian tradition of the sixteenth century. His admiration for Titian and Veronese informed his mastery of colour and layered glazing, producing a luminous surface and a palpable richness of paint.On the reverse of the canvas appears the supplier’s stamp of Roberson & Miller, 51 Long Acre, London, a distinguished 19th-century London colorman whose materials were widely used by leading British artists. Additional collector and auction labels further attest to the painting’s presence within the art market.Dimensions: 45.5 x 57.5 cm (without frame).Material: Oil on canvas.Condition: Good collector’s condition. The paint layer is stable, with natural age-related craquelure consistent with the period. No evidence of intrusive restoration is visible.Provenance: Private European collection. Owner’s stamps and auction numbers on the reverse.
