The Dawn of Love (painting) [SEP] Background
In 1821 the Royal Academy accepted and exhibited one of Etty's works in the Summer Exhibition, "The Arrival of Cleopatra in Cilicia" (also known as "The Triumph of Cleopatra"). This painting was extremely well received, and many of Etty's fellow artists greatly admired him. He became well respected for his ability to capture flesh tones accurately in painting, and for his fascination with contrasts in skin tones. Following the exhibition of "Cleopatra", over the next decade Etty tried to replicate its success by painting nude figures in biblical, literary and mythological settings. While some nudes by foreign artists were held in private English collections, the country had no tradition of nude painting and the display and distribution of nude material to the public had been suppressed since the 1787 Proclamation for the Discouragement of Vice.
