#Musidora: The Bather 'At the Doubtful Breeze Alarmed'#The Bather #William Etty #painting #my upload #oil on canvas #art #19th century #a Romantic oil painting illustrating a scene from James Thomson’s 1727 poem Summer #where a woman Musidora bathes in a stream and is startled. It explores themes of voyeurism #moral conflict and idealized beauty placing the viewer in the position of her lover Damon who watches her #Literary Inspiration:#The scene is based on Thomson’s poem where Musidora is startled by a doubtful breeze while bathing #The Voyeuristic Dilemma:#The painting aims to place the viewer in the spot of the lover Damon creating a titillating moral test #It captures the conflict between wanting to look at the beautiful nude figure and knowing it is socially inappropriate to do so #Artistic Purpose:#In a time when public nudity in art was restricted this mythological/literary subject provided a legitimate #popular pretext for Etty to paint the nude female form #Symbolism:#Musidora’s fear is likened to a fearful fawn capturing a moment of innocent vulnerability #Background:#The setting is in the grounds of The Plantation in Acomb Yorkshire which Etty visited #Versions:#There are four known versions of this painting by Etty (including versions in the Manchester Art Gallery and Tate Britain)

Britomart Redeems Faire Amoret

Artist: William Etty (English, 1787–1849)

Date: Exhibited 1833

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom

Britomart Redeems Faire Amoret

The painting, Intended to illustrate the virtues of honor and chastity, it depicts a scene from Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene in which the female warrior Britomart slays the evil magician Busirane and frees his captive, the beautiful Amoret. In Spenser's original poem Amoret has been tortured and mutilated by the time of her rescue, but Etty disliked the depiction of violence and portrayed her as unharmed.
