"Nu Allongé" is a painting by the French artist Jean-Jacques Henner (1829–1905), renowned for his use of sfumato and chiaroscuro in creating soft and idealized female figures. This work is characteristic of Henner's style, depicting a reclining nude in a serene and contemplative pose, which reflects the artist's fascination with both the female form and the introspective nature of solitude.

Created in the late 19th century, "Nu Allongé" exemplifies the transition in French art from the academic traditions of the École des Beaux-Arts to the more modern approaches that would dominate the turn of the century. Henner's technique, with its ethereal and almost dreamlike quality, bridges the gap between the academic and Symbolist movements, capturing the viewer's attention with its delicate interplay of light and shadow.

The painting's composition focuses on the grace and elegance of the female figure, set against a nondescript background that serves to highlight the subject's form. Henner's use of muted tones and a limited color palette emphasizes the softness of the flesh and the gentle curves of the body, creating a sense of tranquility and otherworldly beauty.

"Nu Allongé" is not only a testament to Henner's skill as a painter but also an example of the era's shifting attitudes towards nudity in art. The work avoids the explicit eroticism of some contemporaneous pieces, instead offering a more introspective and poetic representation of the nude, which aligns with the Symbolist movement's focus on emotion and idea over realistic depiction.

As with many of Henner's paintings, "Nu Allongé" has been appreciated for its technical mastery and its ability to evoke emotion through its subtle and harmonious composition. The painting remains an important piece within Henner's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its contribution to the development of 19th-century French art.
