Painting Description
''Recumbent Nude'' (French: ''Nu couché'') is one of the most celebrated works by Amedeo Modigliani, an Italian painter and sculptor known for his modernist figurative works. Created during the later years of Modigliani's life, around 1917-1918, this painting is part of a series of nudes that are considered among the artist's most significant achievements. The series was commissioned by Modigliani's dealer, Léopold Zborowski, and marked a departure from the artist's usual depictions of elongated faces and figures to a focus on the sensuality and eroticism of the female form.
The ''Recumbent Nude'' portrays a woman lying down in a relaxed, yet sensually charged pose. Her body is both a subject of intimate exposure and a bold, confrontational presence within the canvas. Modigliani's style is characterized by the fluid, curvilinear lines that define the figure, and a use of color that emphasizes the warmth and texture of skin. The face of the model, often identified as Jeanne Hébuterne, Modigliani's lover, is rendered with the artist's signature almond-shaped eyes, pursed lips, and a swan-like neck, which contribute to the work's stylized elegance.
The painting is notable for its combination of classical references, such as the odalisques of Ingres, with the modernist simplification of form. Modigliani's nudes, including ''Recumbent Nude'', were met with controversy when first exhibited at Berthe Weill's gallery in Paris, leading to police censorship due to their perceived indecency. Despite this initial scandal, or perhaps partly because of it, the ''Recumbent Nude'' has become an iconic piece of early 20th-century art, encapsulating the avant-garde's challenge to traditional norms and the exploration of new expressions of human sexuality and beauty.
Today, ''Recumbent Nude'' is held in high esteem within the art historical canon and is frequently exhibited in major museums around the world. It has also achieved remarkable attention in the art market, with versions from the series reaching record-breaking auction prices that reflect Modigliani's enduring legacy and the timeless allure of his artistic vision.
