William Etty (1787-1849) is one of the finest English painters of the first half of the 19th century. His nudes, almost Rubens-like, often presented under a mythological pretext, represent his best known works. Their sensuality elicited criticism from a somewhat prudish press. He also painted religious or historical scenes, such as The Repentant Prodigal’s Return to his Father (Ashmolean Museum) or the large Joan of Arc riding out of Orléans and charging the ennemies of France from the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Orléans, as well as portraits, the earliest of which reveal a strong influence by his master Thomas Lawrence. Etty's work can be found in several Museum Collections, including The Metropolitan Museum Of Art, The V & A, The Tate Gallery, The National Gallery Of Scotland, The Manchester Art Gallery, The National Museum Of Wales and The Minneapolis Institute Of Arts
