"The Dawn of Love" is an oil painting by William Etty, an English artist known for his history paintings containing nude figures. Completed in 1828, the painting depicts a young woman lying on a bed in a dreamlike state, with Cupid holding a torch near her. This scene is often interpreted as an allegory of love's awakening.

Etty, born in York in 1787, was an apprentice printer before moving to London to pursue a career in art. He became a student at the Royal Academy Schools and was influenced by the works of Titian and Rubens, which is evident in his use of rich color and his focus on the human figure. Despite the controversy his works often generated due to their sensual nature, Etty was a respected artist of his time and became a Royal Academician in 1828, the same year "The Dawn of Love" was completed.

The painting is notable for its sensual and romantic portrayal of the female form, rendered with a high degree of skill and attention to detail. Etty's mastery in depicting the textures of skin and fabric adds to the sensuous quality of the work. The use of light and shadow, as well as the inclusion of classical elements like Cupid, are characteristic of Etty's style and serve to elevate the subject matter to the realm of the mythic and timeless.

"The Dawn of Love" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1828, where it received mixed reviews from critics. Some praised Etty's technical abilities and the beauty of his composition, while others condemned the painting for its perceived indecency. Despite the divided opinion, Etty's work played a significant role in the art of the period, challenging societal norms and pushing the boundaries of acceptable subject matter in art.

Today, "The Dawn of Love" is considered an important example of British Romantic painting and is studied for its contribution to the discourse on art and morality in the 19th century. The painting is held in a private collection, and its influence can be seen in the works of later artists who continued to explore themes of love, beauty, and sensuality.
