Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
ETESIAN WIND (Lat. elesius, annual; Gr. Eros, year) , a Mediterranean wind blowing from the north and west in summer for about six weeks annually.
$TEA,
ANTOINE
  (18o8-1888), French sculptor, painter and architect, was born in Paris on the loth of
March
  1808. He first exhibited in the salon of 1833, his
work
  including a reproduction in
marble
  of his " Death of Hyacinthus," and the plaster cast of his "
Cain
  and his race cursed by God.
Thiers
 , who was at this time minister of public works, now commissioned him to execute the two groups of " Peace " and " War," placed at each side of the Arc de Triomphe. This last, which established his reputation, he reproduced in
marble
  in the salon of 1839. The French
capital
  contains numerous examples of the sculptural works of Etex, which included mythological and religious subjects besides a
great
  number of portraits. His paintings include the subjects of Eurydice and the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, and among the best known of his architectural productions are the tomb of
Napoleon
  I. in the Invalides and a
monument
  of the revolution of 1848. Etex wrote a number of essays on subjects connected with the arts. The last year of his life was spent at Nice, and he died at Chaville (Seine-et-Oise) on the 14th of July 1888.
See P. E. Mangeant,
Antoine
  Etex, peintre, sculpteur et architecte, 18o8-i888 (Paris, 1894).
