Alice (painting)

Alice is a c.1918 oil on canvas painting by Amedeo Modigliani.

Her brown hair frames her face and falls onto her dress.

The canvas is simple, on a color leve, since the color scheme varies from nuances of blue to terracotta, creating a contrast that gives life to the painting without disturbing the overall impression of a classical silence and harmony.

The elongated silhouette of the girl is further emphasized by the vertical size of the canvas.

The non-classical ideal of proportions is based on the works of the mannerist painter Parmigianino and in masters of the Italian Renaissance, such as Sandro Botticelli.
