Nu Allongé au Pied du Rocher (Nude Lying at the Foot of a Rock) is a painting by the French artist Henri Gervex, created in the late 19th or early 20th century. Gervex, known for his portraits and scenes of Parisian life, was a prominent figure in the French art scene, particularly during the Third Republic. He gained notoriety for his realistic portrayal of contemporary subjects, often touching on themes of modernity and the female figure.

Nu Allongé au Pied du Rocher is emblematic of Gervex's interest in the female nude, a subject that was central to many academic and realist painters of his time. The painting depicts a solitary female figure, reclining languidly at the base of a rocky outcrop. The composition and the treatment of light and shadow reflect Gervex's academic training and his skill in rendering the human form with a sense of vitality and sensuality.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is reflective of the artistic trends of the period, particularly the naturalist approach to the human body and the influence of Impressionism on the use of light and color. Gervex's work often engaged with contemporary debates about art and morality, and Nu Allongé au Pied du Rocher may similarly be seen as a commentary on the role of the nude in art, as well as the shifting social mores of the time.

The painting is part of Gervex's broader oeuvre, which includes other notable works such as Rolla (1878), a controversial painting that was rejected by the Paris Salon for its depiction of a nude woman alongside a reference to a poem by Alfred de Musset. Like Rolla, Nu Allongé au Pied du Rocher is indicative of Gervex's willingness to challenge artistic conventions and to explore the boundaries of acceptable subject matter in art.

Nu Allongé au Pied du Rocher remains an important work within the context of Gervex's career and the broader landscape of French painting at the turn of the century. It exemplifies the intersection of academic art, realism, and the evolving representation of the female form during a period of significant social and artistic change.
