The article explores the story behind the famous nude painting, 'The Naked Maja,' by Francisco Goya, housed in Madrid's Prado Museum. Goya, a prolific Spanish Romantic painter, was both a court painter and a revolutionary artist. His works, including portraits of the Spanish royal family, depicted the complexities and tensions of the era, especially set against the backdrop of the Peninsular War's devastating effects in Spain. Among his various masterpieces, Goya's 'The Naked Maja' stands out for its bold representation of a nude woman in a conservative Catholic society, believed to be modeled after Pepita Tudó, the mistress of Spanish Prime Minister Manuel de Godoy.
