La Juive (The Jewess)

$606

Description:

Painted early in Modigliani’s career, La Juive captures the raw, introspective spirit that would define much of his later work. The subject, a solemn woman with striking, heavy features and a distant gaze, reflects Modigliani’s fascination with psychological depth and human vulnerability. Her strong facial structure and dark attire contrast with the soft, almost dreamlike background, emphasizing her presence and emotional complexity.

This painting stands out not only for its expressive intensity but also for its subtle defiance of traditional portrait norms. The brushwork is thick and textured, with earthy tones and sculptural qualities that hint at Modigliani’s background in sculpture. Though titled The Jewess, the painting resists ethnic stereotyping—instead, it invites empathy and introspection, making it a powerful early example of modern portraiture.

Artist:

Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor known for his distinctive portraits and nudes featuring elongated faces, necks, and figures. Influenced by African art, Renaissance masters, and contemporary avant-garde movements, his work blended modernism with classical elegance.

Despite struggling with poverty and illness, Modigliani created some of the most iconic artworks of the early 20th century, including Nu Couché and Jeanne Hébuterne. His art, often infused with melancholy and sensuality, was underappreciated during his lifetime but gained immense recognition after his early death at 35. Today, he is celebrated as a key figure in modern art.
