"Standing Male Nude" by William Etty is an oil painting by the 19th-century British artist known for his focus on the nude figure in art. Etty, born in York in 1787, was one of the few English artists of his time to prioritize the study of the nude, drawing inspiration from the classical traditions of Renaissance and Baroque masters. This particular work, while not as widely documented as some of his more famous paintings such as "The Sirens and Ulysses" or "Candaules, King of Lydia, Shews his Wife by Stealth to Gyges, One of his Ministers, as She Goes to Bed," exemplifies Etty's dedication to the human form and his skill in rendering it with a sense of vitality and realism.

"Standing Male Nude" showcases Etty's adept use of light and shadow to sculpt the figure in space, as well as his understanding of human anatomy. The subject of the painting is a male figure captured in a standing pose, which may have been drawn from life, a common practice for Etty, who often worked from live models. The painting's composition, use of color, and brushwork all contribute to the lifelike representation of the figure, emphasizing the artist's commitment to naturalism.

As with many of Etty's nudes, the painting would have been both admired for its technical prowess and scrutinized for its subject matter during a period when the display of nude figures was a contentious issue in British art. Etty's works often sparked debate between supporters of academic tradition and those who found the explicit depiction of the nude figure to be indecorous or even immoral.

The legacy of "Standing Male Nude" and Etty's broader body of work lies in their influence on the acceptance of the nude as a subject in British art and their impact on subsequent generations of artists. Despite the lack of extensive individual documentation on this specific painting, it remains a testament to William Etty's artistic contributions and his role in the history of British art.
