Discover the Controversial Masterpiece at Museo del Prado
La Maja Desnuda, painted around 1797-1800, is a captivating oil-on-canvas painting by Spanish artist Francisco de Goya. This iconic work of art portrays a nude woman reclining on a bed of pillows and has been housed in the prestigious Museo del Prado in Madrid since 1901.
A Bold Depiction of Female Nudity
La Maja Desnuda is renowned for its straightforward and unashamed gaze, which was unprecedented during Goya's time. The painting features a nude woman with her pubic hair visible, making it one of the earliest Western artworks to depict female nudity in such a manner without negative connotations.
Commissioned by Manuel de Godoy
It is believed that La Maja Desnuda was commissioned by Manuel de Godoy, who served as the Prime Minister of Spain. The painting was intended for his private collection and was displayed in a separate cabinet reserved for nude paintings.
A Pendant to La Maja Vestida
Goya created a clothed version of the same woman, known as La Maja Vestida, which is also housed in the Museo del Prado. The two paintings are usually displayed together and share the same dimensions, with the clothed version featuring the sitter occupying a slightly larger proportion of the pictorial space.
