Today, Etty deserves recognition for his place in the history of English art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The life and work of William Etty are thoroughly explored and generously illustrated in this biography. Chapters detail his family background and childhood, his home in York, his life in London and at the Royal Academy of Arts, and his struggles to make a living. His studies in Italy and France and his career as a painter are explored as are his work with the York School of Design in his final decade, his place in the fine arts market and his emulators. An appendix examines Etty's relationship with his niece Betsy, his caretaker, housekeeper and assistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonard Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786467754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786467754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 1.40d","brand":"Leonard Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448937558271,"sku":"9780786467754","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_afbea941-6478-4b44-ab72-3a5550870959.jpg?v=1777261247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/william-etty-leonard-robinson-9780786467754","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
