Reclining Nude
Amedeo Modigliani · 1917
painting
Nudity
Modigliani painted Reclining Nude in 1917, using oil on canvas. It belongs to his series of nudes. Look at it alongside the other reclining figures in this room: compare the pose, then the space the painter gives the body.
Details
Follow the painted contour slowly. Compare the edges of the body with the surrounding colours, then return to the face. Consider how the oil paint carries both a continuous outline and changes within it.
