“The Girl from Rat Mort,” created by Maurice de Vlaminck between 1905 and 1906, is an oil on canvas painting. This work, which measures 32.7 by 46.7 centimeters, belongs to the Fauvism and Neo-Impressionism art movements. It is classified as a nude painting (nu) and is presently held in a private collection.
The artwork features a nude female figure reclining on a bed covered with vibrant, expressive bedclothes and pillows, depicted with bold and dynamic brushstrokes characteristic of Fauvism. The background is an abstract, colorful tapestry that further emphasizes the figure’s isolation and emotional intensity. The use of vivid colors and expressive lines evokes strong emotional responses, seamlessly blending the innovative aesthetics of Fauvism with the delicate nuances of Neo-Impressionism.
