ETTY, WILLIAM, born in York, March
10, 1787, died
there, Nov. 13,
1849. History
painter, son of a
miller; apprenticed
for seven
years with Peck,
a letter-press
printer at Hull;
went to London
in 1806, in 1807
became a student at the Royal Academy,
and in 1808 of Sir Thomas Lawrence. He
was long unsuccessful, but by persevering
drudgery at last won his reward; in 1811
his Telemachus rescuing Antiope was hung
in the Royal Academy, and in 1820 his Coral
Finders, and in 1821 his Cleopatra on the
Cydnus, brought him fame. In 1822 he
visited Italy and became an honorary member
of the Venetian Academy; and in 1824
he was elected an A.R.A., and in 1828 R.A.
Etty delighted in painting the nude, especially
the female form, and as a colourist
had few equals in the English school.
