Large Nude is now known only through photographs and its depiction in The Red Studio. It was painted in Collioure, in late summer 1911.
Matisse portrayed a reclining nude woman against a background of the five-petaled flower designs seen on the ceramic pieces he decorated in 1907. Painted in distemper, Large Nude measured almost two by two and a half meters and occupied a handmade red frame decorated with stylized flowers, echoing those on the canvas.
Although it is a horizontal painting, perspectival foreshortening in The Red Studio converts it into a vertical format. The figure's position is therefore transformed as well: she seems to no longer be reclining but is instead poised on a diagonal. Large Nude was never exhibited or sold, and according to Matisse's daughter, Marguerite Duthuit, he considered the painting unfinished and asked that it be destroyed after his death.
These five drawings explore the motif of the Large Nude. Two depict Marguerite in a relatively naturalistic way and with both knees raised.
The other three set a schematized figure in a closely framed space, with her left leg tucked under right. Matisse variously referred to Large Nude as "Night" or "Dawn," which echo the names of Michelangelo's sculptures of reclining female nudes on two tombs in the Medici Chapels in Florence.
