MÜLLER, VICTOR
1830 Frankfurt on the Main - 1871 Munich
attributed
Title: Reclining Nude.
Technique: Oil on canvas.
Mounting: Relined.
Measurement: 78 x 127cm.
Illegibly signed lower left.
Frame: Framed.
Provenance:
Private ownership, Germany.
The present composition dates back to the main work of the painter Victor Müller, the "Nymph" which is a reclining nude in front of a dark landscape. The present work possibly is a preliminary study for the monumental painting that triggered controversial discussions due to its emphasised carnality in 1862. Gustave Courbet's influence who befriended Müller is significantly visible. The reclining pose refers back to his "Bacchante"; also the high horizon points to the Frenchman.
