The artwork titled “Reclining Nude,” created by René Magritte in 1925 in Brussels, Belgium, is an oil painting on canvas. This piece belongs to the art movement known as Cubism and falls under the genre of nude painting (nu).
In the artwork, a female nude figure is depicted reclining on a bed. The subject lies in a relaxed pose, partially covered by a red drapery. Her arms are positioned behind her head, and she gazes directly ahead with a calm yet confident expression. The artist uses smooth lines and a soft color palette, contrasting the figure’s flesh tones with the deep red of the fabric and the neutral background. This artistic piece captures a moment of serene repose, emphasizing the harmonious blend of form and color characteristic of the Cubist influence.
