French Early 20th Century Male Nude by Didier-Tourné

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 37 ½” H x 31 ¼” W x 1 ½” D

An early 20th-century gilt framed oil on canvas painting by French artist Jean Didier-Tourné (1882-1967), depicting a lean male nude in a kind of contraposto stance as he turns away in silhouette to the viewer, arms behind his back. The background palette is deliberately muted, creating a horizon line at his waist contrasting the gray-green upper against a burnt sienna below. Overall the minimal composition is captivating for its tense juxtapositions, his turned body is not only a figure study of human anatomy but one of shadow & light as the muscles are dimly illuminated. Signed on the back of the canvas along with “Rome” to put in local/historical context, no visible signature on the front. Framed by a gold gilt molding with thin reeded design. Please view the detailed images as they are an important part of the product description.
