Seated Nude is an oil on canvas painting by Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani created in 1918.

[2] Simultaneously abstracted and erotically detailed, they exhibit a formal grace referencing nude figures of the Italian Renaissance while at the same time objectifying their subjects' sexuality; they "exemplify his position between tradition and modernism".

[3] The nudes of this period are "displayed boldly, with only the faintest suggestion of setting.... neither demure nor provocative, they are depicted with a degree of objectivity.

Yet the uniformly thick, rough application of paint— as if applied by a sculptor's hand— is more concerned with mass and the visceral perception of the female body than with titillation and the re-creation of translucent, tactile flesh".

[2] Seated Nude is painted in a modern style characterized by elongation of faces and figures recalling works of Titian, Goya and Velazques.
