More about this artwork

Theo van Rysselberghe's "Nu Assis (Maude)" is a captivating example of the artist's shift towards a more intimate and tender portrayal of his subjects. This 1916 painting, typical of van Rysselberghe's pointillist influence, harmonizes vibrant colors with sensitive subject matter.In "Nu Assis" (Seated Nude), we see a young woman seated, her body modestly curled in a graceful pose that captivates the viewer with its simplicity and serenity. She gazes pensively off to one side, lending an air of contemplative melancholy that deepens the emotional impact of the work. Her nudity is portrayed in an almost sculptural manner, emphasizing the natural curves and softness of her form, which is highlighted by the substantive, yet delicate brushwork typical of pointillistic techniques.The backdrop of the painting is a fascinating mosaic of colors that suggest a drapery or wallpapered room, contributing to the intimate feel of the scene. The swirling patterns in shades of pink, blue, green, and orange create a dynamic contrast to the gentle and unassuming figure of Maude.This painting not only captures the beauty and vulnerability of its subject but also exemplifies van Rysselberghe’s mastery in using color and light to evoke mood and atmosphere.
