More about this artwork
Henri Lebasque's masterpiece "Nu Allongé Au Coussin Espagnol" (1925) captures the tranquility and intimacy of its subject with tenderness and warm tones. This painting features a reclining nude figure, gracefully lying upon an intricately patterned throw that drapes over a soft surface. The figure’s repose is accentuated by the relaxed posture and placement of limbs, while the head rests delicately on a vividly colored Spanish cushion, adding a pop of visual vitality to the neutral palette.Lebasque’s brushwork lends a delicate, almost dreamlike quality to the canvas, integrating light and form in a harmonious ensemble that is both peaceful and evocative. The background is subtly adorned with flecks and washes of lighter hues, emphasizing a sense of space and airiness. On the left, a flower vase adds a touch of natural beauty, enhancing the composition's balance between the human form and its surroundings.Notably, Lebasque's application of color and his technique successfully relay the texture of the surfaces depicted, from the smoothness of the skin to the tactile fabric of the drapery. This artwork is not just a visual pleasure but also an exploration of the sensual interplay of light, color, and form.
