Exhibition Square - Statue William Etty

In front of the Art Gallery in Exhibition Square stands the statue of William Etty a local Victorian artist 1787-1849 . Etty was the son of a baker and showed early promise and was sent by a wealthy uncle to the Royal Academy Schools in London in 1806. Titian was his favourite artist and some echos can be found in his work.
