''The Nude Maja'' (Spanish: ''La Maja Desnuda'') is a famous oil on canvas painting by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created at the turn of the 18th to the 19th century, with estimates of its completion ranging from 1797 to 1800. As one of Goya's most iconic works, it is renowned for its daring portrayal of a nude woman in a reclining position, which was a significant departure from the traditional representations of female nudes in Western art at the time. The subject's direct gaze and unabashed display of her body marked a stark contrast to the mythological or allegorical contexts typically used to justify nudity in art during that era.

The identity of the woman depicted in ''The Nude Maja'' remains a subject of speculation, with some theories suggesting she may be the Duchess of Alba, with whom Goya was rumored to have been involved, or Pepita Tudó, the mistress of Prime Minister Manuel de Godoy. The painting is part of a pair, accompanied by ''The Clothed Maja'' (''La Maja Vestida''), which features the same model in the same pose, but clothed. Both paintings were owned by Godoy and were likely commissioned by him, reflecting his reputed taste for sensual art.

''The Nude Maja'' is particularly significant for its historical and cultural impact. It is considered one of the earliest Western artworks to depict pubic hair, challenging the norms of modesty and the idealized forms that dominated the art of the time. The painting's overt eroticism led to controversy and it played a central role in the changing perceptions of the nude in art history. It was famously ordered to be removed from public display by the Spanish Inquisition, which led to Goya facing charges of obscenity.

Today, ''The Nude Maja'' is held in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it is displayed alongside ''The Clothed Maja''. The painting continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is widely regarded as a masterpiece of Spanish art, reflecting Goya's bold artistic vision and his influence on the Romantic movement and modern portrayals of the human form.
