ETTY, WILLIAM, born in York, March 10, 1787, died there, Nov. 13,
1849. History painter, son of a miller; apprenticed for seven years
with Peck, a letter-press printer at Hull; went to London in 1806, in
1807 became a student at the Royal Academy, and in 1808 of Sir Thomas
Lawrence. He was long unsuccessful, but by persevering drudgery at
last won his reward; in 1811 his Telemachus rescuing Antiope was hung
in the Royal Academy, and in 1820 his Coral Finders, and in 1821
his _Cleopatra_ on the Cydnus, brought him fame. In 1822 he visited
Italy and became an honorary member of the Venetian Academy; and in

ETZDORF. See _Ezdorf_.
EUCHEIR, of Athens, mythic painter, spoken of as the discoverer of
painting in Greece, and as related to Dædalus.--Pliny, vii. 57 [205].
EUDORUS, scene-painter and statuary, place and date unknown.--Pliny,
xxxv. 40 [141].
EUMARUS, monochrome painter, of Athens, latter part of 6th century
B.C. Said to have been the first to distinguish men from women in
his pictures by colour, by which is meant, probably, that he painted
the flesh of the former of a reddish brown and that of the latter
white. Also said to have first marked the differences in age between
the persons whom he painted. Painting in Greece, up to his time on a
level with that in Assyria and Egypt, took with him the first steps
in the path of progress.--Pliny, xxxv. 34 [55].
EUMELUS, painter, of Caria, probably about A.D. 190. His picture of
Helen was in the Roman Forum.--Philost. Vita Sophist., ii. 5.
EUPHRANOR, one of the greatest of Greek artists, of Corinth,
Theban-Attic school, pupil of _Aristides_ of Thebes or of his son
and pupil Ariston, about 370–336 B.C. Master of all arts--painter,
sculptor, chaser of metals, and writer on symmetry and colour (Pliny,
xxxiv. 19; Quin., xii. 10, 6). He united the traditions of his
Theban master with those of the Sicyonic school, and painted many
famous works, both at Corinth and at Athens. Upon one wall in the
Stoa Basilæus at Athens he painted Theseus with personifications
of Democracy and the Demos, and upon the opposite one the twelve
great gods. There also he represented a fight between the Athenian
and Bœotian cavalry at the battle of Mantinæa, with portraits of
Epaminondas and of Gryllus, son of Xenophon (Paus. i. 3. 2, 3). With
reference to the first-named picture Euphranor remarked that the
Theseus of Parrhasius had been fed on roses, but his own on beef
(Pliny, xxxv. 40). Some famous pictures of his at Ephesus are also
mentioned: Ulysses in his feigned Madness, yoking together an Ox and
a Horse; and a Warrior sheathing his Sword.
EUPOMPUS, a noted Greek painter, of Sicyon, founder of the Sicyonic
school, contemporary and rival of _Parrhasius_ and _Timanthes_, about
400 B.C. (Pliny, xxv. 36 [61, 64, 75]). Before his time only two
schools of painting were recognized in Greece, the Ionic (Asiatic)
and the Attic (Hellenic). We know the subject of but one of his
works, a winner in the Olympic games carrying a palm of victory in
his hand. This picture was so marked in its individuality that the
painter was conceded to have founded a third school, the Sicyonic,
at the head of which stands his scholar _Pamphilus_, the master of
Apelles.
EURIPIDES, painter and poet (485–406 B.C.). The great tragic poet was
a painter in his youth, and several of his works were preserved in
Megara.--Suidas, v. and Vita Eurip. in Vitæ scriptores Græci minores
(ed. Westerm. 134, 15).

IV. at Lord Gwydyr sale (1829) for £2,000. Engraved by Radclyffe,
and by Claude himself. Liber Veritatis, No. 136. Another Europa,
Liber Veritatis, 144, was in collection of Sir Philip Miles, Leigh
Court.--Waagen, Treasures, ii. 23; Pattison, Claude Lorrain, 71, 227.
By _Titian_, Cobham Hall, England; canvas, H. 5 ft. 10 in. × 6 ft.
8 in.; signed. Jupiter, in the form of a bull, with Europa on his
back, rushes through the brine, while Eros, with expanded wings,
clings to a dolphin following, and two Cupids fly overhead; in the
distance Europa’s companions on the shore bewail her loss. Painted
in 1562 for Philip II. of Spain; given by Philip V. in 1704 to
Marquis de Grammont, through whose hands it passed to the Orleans
Collection; sold in 1798 to Lord Berwick for £700 Copy by Rubens in
Madrid Museum; another, probably by Del Mazo, is in collection of Sir
Richard Wallace; poor copy in Dulwich Gallery.--C. & C., Titian, ii.
319; Waagen, Treasures, iii. 19.
[Illustration: Rape of Europa, Paolo Veronese, Palazzo Ducale,
Venice.]
By Paolo _Veronese_, Palazzo Ducale, Venice; canvas. Jupiter, in
the form of a bull, lying down under trees to receive Europa, who,
aided by attendants, is seating herself on his back; above, two
Cupids bring wreaths of flowers, and a third holds the bull by a
cord attached to a wreath around his horns; at right, the bull is
seen entering the water with Europa on his back, with attendants,
and Cupid bearing a torch; in distance, the bull swimming, with
attendants on shore taking leave of Europa. Left to the Republic
by Bertucci Contarini in 1715. Taken to Paris in 1798; returned in
1817. Ruskin says: One of the very few pictures which both possess
and deserve a high reputation. Replica in Capitol Gallery, Rome;
another, small, with changes, National Gallery, London. Engraved by
Rainaldi; Lefebvre.--Ruskin, Stones of Venice, iii. 297; Klas. der

EUSEBIO DI SAN GIORGIO. See _San_ Giorgio.
EUTHYMIDES, third-rate painter, place and date unknown (Pliny, xxxv.
40 [146]). Perhaps identical with Euthymides of Hadria, son of
Polius, vase-painter, whose name is on a vase found at Vulci.
EUTYCHIDES, painter, place and date unknown. His picture of a
two-horse chariot is mentioned by Pliny (xxxv. 40 [141]). Perhaps
identical with the sculptor of the same name from Sicyon, mentioned
by Pausanias (vi. 2. 6) and Pliny (xxxiv. 78).
EUXINIDAS, painter, master of _Aristides_ of Thebes, about 400–380
B.C. Works unknown.--Pliny, xxxv. 36 [74].
