In erotic art, the reclining nude has been an enduring motif since the Renaissance. It is perhaps most famously depicted in The Venus of Urbino and The Great Odalisque. However, the first female reclining nude in modern European painting is Giorgione's The Sleeping Venus, painted in 1510, if one discounts the Venus Anadyomene of Pompeii. It is also one of the first works of art in which the female figure is the only subject of the painting.
