“A Suffering Nude” by Amedeo Modigliani is an expressionist oil painting on canvas, created around 1909 in Paris, France. The artwork, which measures 81 x 54 cm, belongs to the genre of nude painting (nu) and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a nude figure portrayed with Modigliani’s characteristically evocative brushstrokes. Utilizing a muted palette with earthy tones, Modigliani conveys the sense of suffering and emotion through the subject’s pose and facial expression. The rough texture and bold strokes emphasize the rawness and intensity of the human condition, harmonizing with the expressionist movement’s focus on emotional experience over physical realism.
