Nudo sdraiato 1940

"Nudo sdraiato" (Reclining Nude) is a 1940 painting by Italian artist Renato Guttuso, known for his bold and expressive style. This piece is a quintessential example of Guttuso's approach to figurative art, capturing the essence of the human form with strong brushstrokes and vivid color. The nude female figure, rendered in a naturalistic yet stylized fashion, rests on a bed of rich crimson, further emphasizing the sensuality and vulnerability of the subject.
