"Odalisque" is a painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, completed in 1814. The term "odalisque" refers to a woman in a harem, and Ingres's work is a representation of this theme, which was popular among European artists, particularly in the 19th century, due to the fascination with Orientalism. The painting depicts a reclining nude female figure, viewed from behind, with her back and curves accentuated in a manner that exemplifies Ingres's unique style, characterized by his elongation of forms and meticulous attention to detail.

Ingres's "Odalisque" is renowned for its sensuality and the smooth, almost porcelain quality of the subject's skin, achieved through his masterful use of light and shadow. The figure's pose and the luxurious surroundings suggest a sense of languid eroticism, while her distant gaze and the stillness of the composition lend the work an enigmatic quality. The painting reflects the artist's fascination with the exotic and the erotic, themes that were prevalent in the Romantic movement of the time.

The work is also notable for its departure from the strict anatomical realism that was the norm in academic art. Ingres's stylization and the anatomical distortions in the figure's form were both criticized and celebrated by his contemporaries and have continued to be a subject of discussion among art historians. The "Odalisque" has had a significant impact on the course of Western art, influencing later artists and movements, and remains one of Ingres's most famous and frequently analyzed works. It is held in high regard for its technical brilliance and its complex interplay of reality and idealization.

Today, "Odalisque" is considered a masterpiece of early 19th-century French painting and is held in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris. The painting continues to be a touchstone for discussions about Orientalism in art, the representation of the female form, and the evolution of modern painting.
