![Ignacio Pinazo Camarlench - Nude [1888] by Gandalf's Gallery](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vIy5oTxbrPITOiOfFRjjnIhWq35dwrYqXb1KJgEYir_jRnGiQaoG2mdfDEePd2mjIb_GdZvQ_RgQfw6jDZz1jLmypUjCYQm1RmWzC4pGMzoXbO0FrR0wUMWr8uT_tFxw=s0-d)
A young man lies face down on the earth, crowned with grape leaves in the fashion of the god, Bacchus. This mythological touch, which Pinazo developed in part of his oeuvre, shows the influence of his time in Italy. This nude also clearly shows how important light was in many of this artist's works. Here it can be seen in the reverberant effect of the white cloth that cover's the model's legs. This work is one of several works by this artist acquired for the Museum of Modern Art in 1957.
