Marcel Duchamp was inspired by the chronophotographs of Etienne-Jules Marey when he created the Nude Descending a Staircase. These photographic sequences captured the movements of people and animals, showing multiple stages of movement in a single image. Duchamp was fascinated by the idea of showing movement in art and applied it to the human figure in his painting.
