Preparing for a Fancy Dress Ball (original) (raw)
Preparing for a Fancy Dress Ball, also known as The Misses Williams-Wynn, is a 173 by 150 cm (68 by 59 in) oil on canvas by English artist William Etty, first exhibited in 1835 and currently in the York Art Gallery. Although Etty was then known almost exclusively for history paintings featuring nude figures, he was commissioned in 1833 by Welsh Conservative politician Charles Watkin Williams-Wynn to paint a portrait of two of his daughters. Preparing for a Fancy Dress Ball shows Williams-Wynn's daughters, Charlotte and Mary, in lavish Italian-style costume: Charlotte, the eldest, is shown standing, helping the seated Mary decorate her hair with a ribbon and a rose. Etty put a good deal of effort into the piece and took much longer than usual to finish it.

Etty put a good deal of effort into the piece and took much longer than usual to finish it. The painting was completed for and exhibited at the 1835 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. It was generally well received, even by critics usually hostile to Etty and his work. Preparing for a Fancy Dress Ball demonstrated that Etty was both capable of high-quality work and deserving of patronage by the English elite, and the success led to further commissions. The painting remained in the collection of Mary Williams-Wynn's descendants, and other than an 1849 retrospective exhibition, was not shown publicly for 160 years. A private collector purchased the piece from the Williams-Wynn family in 1982, where it remained until its 2009 acquisition by the York Art Gallery. It now forms part of a major collection of Etty's work there.

Po raz pierwszy został wystawiony w 1836, a aktualnie jest prezentowany w . Mimo że Etty był w tamtym czasie znany niemal wyłącznie z aktów o tematyce historycznej, w 1833 otrzymał od Charlesa Watkina Williamsa-Wynna, walijskiego polityka, zamówienie na namalowanie portretu dwóch jego córek. Obraz przedstawia obie kobiety, Charlotte i Mary, w lubieżnych strojach we włoskim stylu. Charlotte, starsza, na obrazie stoi i pomaga siedzącej Mary udekorować jej włosy wstążką i różą. Etty włożył w to dzieło wiele wysiłku i ukończenie go zajęło mu znacznie więcej czasu niż zwykle. W 1835 obraz był gotowy i wystawiony na Summer Exhibition organizowanej przez Royal Academy of Arts. Został generalnie dobrze przyjęty, nawet przez krytyków zwykle wrogo odnoszących się do Etty’ego i jego prac. Przygotowanie do balu kostiumowego udowadniało, że Etty był zdolny do tworzenia dzieł o wysokiej jakości i zasługiwał na mecenat ze strony angielskich elit, a sukces dzieła prowadził do dalszych zleceń. Obraz pozostał w kolekcji potomków Mary Williams-Wynn i w przeciwieństwie do innych obrazów prezentowanych na retrospektywnej wystawie Etty’ego z 1849, nie był publicznie pokazywany przez następne 160 lat. Prywatny kolekcjoner zakupił go od rodziny Williams-Wynn w 1982 i posiadał do 2009, kiedy pozyskała go York Art Gallery. W tym muzeum obraz stanowi obecnie istotny element kolekcji dzieł Etty’ego.

Encontra-se na , da cidade de York, Inglaterra Embora, na altura da composição desta obra, Etty ser conhecido quase em exclusivo pelas suas pinturas sobre história, incluindo figuras nuas, foi contratado em 1833 pelo político conservador galês para pintar um retrato de duas das suas filhas. Esta pintura mostra e Mary, num luxuoso traje de estilo italiano: Charlotte, a mais velha, está de pé, ajudando Mary, sentada, a arranjar o seu cabelo com uma fita e uma rosa. Etty dedidou muito tempo e esforço nesta pintura, demorando mais tempo a elaborá-la relativamente a outras. A pinturas foi terminada para ser exibida na . De uma forma geral, foi bem recebida, mesmo pelos críticos mais hostis às obras de Etty. Preparando-se para um Baile de Vestidos Chiques prova que Etty era, em simultâneo, capaz de pinturas de alta-qualidade e de merecer a patronagem da elite inglesa, o que lhe fez receber mais encomendas. Este trabalho permaneceu na colecção dos descendentes de Mary Williams-Wynn e, para além de uma exposição retrospectiva de 1849, esteve guardada durante 160 anos. Um coleccionador privado adquiriu a pintura à família Williams-Wynn em 1982, onde esteve até à sua compra em 2009 pela York Art Gallery. (pt) |
