ATTRIBUÉ À WILLIAM ETTY (YORK, 1787 1849)
HUMAN ACADEMY Painting on wood
67 x 45.5 cm
Provenance
Collection Alfred Clayton Cole (1854-1920) An English
painter who entered the Royal Academy of Arts in 1807,
William Etty's teachers were the neoclassical sculptor
John Flaxman (1755-1826) and the eminent portrait
painter Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830). "One must credit this English master with his influence in the training of French Romantic painters of the early 19th century. Eugène Delacroix [...] could not have been indifferent to the new art of William
Etty. His paste, creamy and richly coloured, underlined by a vigorous drawing going to the line surrounding the forms, was an audacity unknown at that time." (in E. Bénézit,
Dictionnaire des peintres sculpteurs, dessinateurs et graveurs,
Libraire Gründ, 1950, Tome 3, p. 620). Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
