William Etty was an English artist best known for his historical paintings featuring nude figures. He was the first significant British painter of nudes and still lifes. Born in York, he left school at 12 and became a printer in Hull. After seven years, he finished his apprenticeship and moved to London, where in 1807 entered the schools of the Royal Academy. There he studied under Thomas Lawrence and learned by copying the works of other artists.
