Reception
The film addresses the theme of the ”diva” and ”avoids exotic references in favor of the bohemian world of artists and models , a milieu inspired by Paris and Montmartre.”
The film seems to have been popular outside of Italy as well.{{Cite book |last=Bondanella |first=Peter |url=https://books.google.pt/books?id=QGr8DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT478&dq=la:donna+nuda+gallone&hl=fr&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjB5NXT9P2LAxWERPEDHbNIBAwQ6AF6BAgMEAM#v=onepage&q=la:donna%20nuda%20gallone&f=false |title=The Italian Cinema Book |date=2019-07-25 |publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing |isbn=978-1-83902-024-7 |language=en}}
