ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് ചിത്രകാരനായ William Etty -യുടെ ഏതാണ്ട് ഒരേപോലെയുള്ള നാല് ഓയിൽ പെയ്‌ന്റിംഗുകൾ ഒരുമിച്ച് അറിയപ്പെടുന്ന പേരാണ് Musidora: The Bather 'At the Doubtful Breeze Alarmed', അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ചുരുക്കത്തിൽ The Bather,[1]. ജെയിംസ് തോംസൺന്റെ 1727 -ലെ കവിതയായ സമ്മറിൽ ഒരു യുവതി കുളിക്കുന്നത് ആകസ്മികമായി കാണുന്ന ഒരു ചെറുപ്പക്കാരൻ അതുനോക്കിനിൽക്കാനുള്ള ആഗ്രഹത്തിനും അതു നോക്കാൻ പാടില്ലെന്ന കുറ്റബോധത്തിനും ഇടയിൽ ഉള്ള രംഗമാണ് ഇതിന് പ്രേരണയായത്.

പശ്ചാത്തലം

തിരുത്തുക
 
William Etty in 1844, around the time Musidora was painted.

How durst thou risk the soul-distracting view
As from her naked limbs of glowing white,
Harmonious swelled by nature's finest hand,
In folds loose-floating fell the fainter lawn,
And fair exposed she stood, shrunk from herself,
With fancy blushing, at the doubtful breeze
Alarmed, and starting like the fearful fawn?
Then to the flood she rushed.

These lines from Summer accompanied the painting on its original exhibit.[2]

 
Musidora by Thomas Gainsborough c.1780–1788. This painting was not exhibited during Gains­borough's lifetime.

സ്വീകരണം

തിരുത്തുക
Godiva Preparing to Ride through Coventry, George Jones, 1833
Lady Godiva, Marshall Claxton, 1850
By the time of Musidora, Godiva was replacing Musidora as a pretext for English artists to paint nudes.
 
It is likely that the composition of Millais's 1870 The Knight Errant was influenced by Musidora.
