Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was an Italian painter known for elongated portraits with almond eyes and simplified features. His distinctive style blended modern and classical influences. Despite dying young from tuberculosis, he created a remarkable legacy of nudes and portraits characterized by their sinuous lines and emotional intensity.
Amedeo Modigliani’s 1917 painting, Nu couché (sur le côté gauche) Nude lying (on the left side), is a prominent example of his iconic nude series. The oil on canvas depicts a reclining female figure, posed on her left side, with her body subtly twisted to face the viewer.
Modigliani’s signature style is evident in the elongated forms, smooth contours, and almond-shaped eyes of the subject. The figure is rendered with a delicate sensuality, emphasizing the curves of her body while maintaining a sense of classicism inspired by Renaissance art. The background is typically understated, allowing the focus to remain entirely on the nude. This work, like many of Modigliani’s nudes, reasserted the genre’s place in modern art, celebrating the human form with both allure and a touch of melancholy.
