Odalisque
An odalisque (Ottoman Turkish: اوطهلق, Turkish: odalık) was a chambermaid or a female attendant in a Turkish seraglio, particularly the court ladies in the household of the Ottoman sultan. In western usage, the term came to mean the harem concubine, and refers to the eroticized artistic genre in which a woman is represented mostly or completely nude in a reclining position, often in the setting of a harem.
Examples of use of odalisque
1. Plus tardive et par conséquent stylisée, plus proche de la mani';re adoptée pour les costumes de Ballets russes, le dessin d‘une Odalisque resté inachevé, sans autre accessoire que des étoffes sinueuses, parvient ŕ évoquer l‘Orient fabuleux.
2. Suivre l‘évolution du nu, de la classique Odalisque en grisaille d‘Ingres (1'34) au Nu couché de Modigliani (1'17), en passant par le réalisme de la Femme au perroquet de Courbet ou le classicisme de la Naissance de Vénus d‘Alexandre Cabanel (1875). Ou alors se concentrer sur les paysages, de Corot ŕ Cézanne.
