FEUERBACH, Anselm Friedrich: Nanna

🖼 Nanna, c. 1861
Oil on canvas
74 × 56 cm
Cologne, Germany

Soft brushwork captures a languid female figure in classical repose, her pale form luminous against warm, muted tones. Feuerbach's idealized beauty reflects 19th-century German Romanticism's obsession with mythological femininity and timeless aesthetic perfection.
