"The Dawn of Love" is a significant oil painting by the English artist William Etty, first exhibited in 1828. Known for his vivid use of color and his focus on the nude figure, Etty's work often explored themes of love, sensuality, and classical mythology, and "The Dawn of Love" is no exception. The painting depicts a young woman, presumably Psyche, awakening from her slumber, surrounded by symbols of love and desire, including Cupid's arrows and roses. The artwork is notable for its detailed rendering of the human form, the soft, ethereal lighting, and its romantic, dreamlike quality.

William Etty (1787–1849) was one of the most prominent British painters of the 19th century, particularly celebrated for his depictions of historical and mythological scenes. Despite facing criticism for the explicitness of his nudes, Etty's work was also praised for its technical skill and his ability to convey deep emotion and beauty. "The Dawn of Love" exemplifies Etty's mastery in capturing the nuances of the human body and his fascination with themes of love and mythology. The painting reflects Etty's commitment to academic principles while also showcasing his personal artistic vision, characterized by a rich palette and a profound understanding of light and shadow.

Throughout his career, Etty fought for the acceptance of nude painting as a serious and dignified genre within the British art world, and "The Dawn of Love" can be seen as part of this broader effort. The painting not only highlights Etty's technical prowess but also his philosophical engagement with the nature of beauty, desire, and the human experience. Today, "The Dawn of Love" is celebrated as a key work in Etty's oeuvre, offering insight into the artist's unique blend of classical inspiration and personal innovation. It remains an important example of early 19th-century British art and a testament to Etty's enduring legacy as a painter of sensuous and emotive scenes.
