Outstanding oil on canvas by Anselmo Miguel Nieto, representing a female nude. It was in the genre of portraiture that the painter shone above all others, but it is his portraits of women that made him an exceptional painter. The work represents the naked body of a woman in the foreground, a young woman of sensual beauty who poses for the painter lying on a bed, looking directly at the viewer in an insinuating and somewhat mysterious way, typical of the symbolist current. Measurements of the canvas without frame: 109 x 160 cm Measurements with frame: 111 x 162 cm It,s a painting museum painting !!!!!! a great opportunity!! She is the absolute protagonist of the composition, with nothing to distract our attention. The way of representing the features of her portrayed face, almost photographic, show that behind the work there is a very detailed study by the painter, who thus shows himself to be a master of drawing. There are details that capture our attention to a greater extent, such as the ring he wears on her hand, the gloss on his lips... and, above all, the intensity of her gaze. However, despite the careful anatomical study, this very precise drawing softens when it comes to giving life to the woman's skin, with a looser and more vaporous brushstroke, although it still does not lose detail. This brushstroke becomes completely free and sketchy as it passes into the background. On some occasions, as in this case, the backgrounds of his works appear to be unfinished, which conveys the freshness and spontaneity of the unfinished. His personal style is shaped by the mixture of the different influences that affected him. Continuous references to Renaissance art and the nudes of the great painting masters are found in this type of work. His training was eminently classical and academic, and from an early age he showed himself to be a great admirer of the previous great masters. Many of his nudes seem to be directly inspired by those of Velázquez or Goya, although he also got to know the Renaissance directly, especially Raphael, during his stay in Rome. From the Venetians, particularly, from Tintoretto, he took his loose technique and the sense of decorativeness; of his contemporary Sorolla, the treatment of light; and from English Pre-Raphaelism and from his companion Julio Romero de Torres...
