"Nature Unveiling Herself Before Science" is an allegorical painting by the English artist William Etty, created in 1846. The work is notable for its representation of the personification of Nature as a nude female figure unveiling herself to a seated elderly man, symbolizing Science. This painting reflects Etty's fascination with the female nude, which he often depicted in his art to embody abstract concepts and virtues.

The composition of "Nature Unveiling Herself Before Science" is rich with symbolism and reflects the Victorian era's complex relationship with science and the natural world. The act of unveiling is a metaphor for the pursuit of knowledge and the revelation of truths through scientific inquiry. Etty's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to anatomical detail, enhances the dramatic effect of the scene and underscores the tension between the hidden and the revealed.

William Etty (1787–1849) was renowned for his skill in painting the human figure, and his works often sparked controversy for their sensual content and the prominence of the nude in historical, mythological, and allegorical contexts. Despite the contentious reception of his nudes during his lifetime, Etty was respected for his technical prowess and became an influential figure in British art.

"Nature Unveiling Herself Before Science" is held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and appreciated as an example of mid-19th-century British art and as a testament to Etty's artistic legacy. The painting remains a subject of interest for art historians and scholars who explore the intersections of art, science, and philosophy during the Victorian period.
