''The Nude Maja'' (Spanish: ''La Maja Desnuda'') is a seminal work of art by the Spanish painter Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created at the turn of the 19th century, between 1799 and 1800. Renowned for its daring portrayal of a nude woman in a reclined position, the painting is considered one of Goya's most provocative and famous works. It marks a significant departure from the traditional representation of the female form in Western art, particularly in its candid and unidealized presentation of the subject.

The identity of the woman depicted in ''The Nude Maja'' has been the subject of speculation, with some theories suggesting she may be the Duchess of Alba, with whom Goya was rumored to have been involved. However, there is no definitive evidence to confirm the sitter's identity. The painting is notable for its lack of mythological or historical pretext, which was commonly used to justify the depiction of nudity in art during that period. Instead, Goya presents the nude figure as the sole subject, unadorned and unapologetic in her sensuality.

Measuring approximately 97 cm × 190 cm (38 in × 75 in), the painting is executed in oil on canvas. ''The Nude Maja'' is part of a pair of paintings; its counterpart, ''The Clothed Maja'' (Spanish: ''La Maja Vestida''), depicts the same woman in the same pose but clothed. The existence of the two paintings has led to extensive discussion among art historians regarding their intended purpose and relationship to each other.

Goya's boldness in creating ''The Nude Maja'' led to controversy and conflict with the Spanish Inquisition. The painting was considered scandalous and was hidden from public view for many years. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, ''The Nude Maja'' has had a lasting impact on the art world and is often cited as a precursor to the modern depiction of the nude in Western art.

Today, ''The Nude Maja'' is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to attract attention and admiration for its artistic significance and its role in challenging the norms of its time. Its influence extends beyond the realm of art, as it has also been discussed in the context of social and cultural attitudes towards sexuality and censorship.
