The artwork, titled “Nude with Necklace,” was created by Amedeo Modigliani in 1917 in Paris, France. Rendered in oil on canvas, this piece is a notable work within the Expressionism movement. Measuring 73 x 116 cm, the artwork falls under the genre of nude painting (nu) and is currently housed in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, NY, US.
“Nude with Necklace” is a striking example of Modigliani’s distinctive style, characterized by elongated forms and a subtle interplay of color and line. The painting presents a reclining nude figure, adorned with a simple necklace that contrasts with the warm tones of her skin. The figure’s relaxed posture, with arms gently placed behind her head, emanates a sense of tranquility and introspection. The background, rendered in darker, subdued hues, serves to accentuate the luminosity of the figure’s body, highlighting Modigliani’s skillful use of composition and his unique approach to the human form.
