Maja is a term often associated with two of Francisco de Goya y Lucientes' most famous paintings, "La Maja Desnuda" (The Nude Maja) and "La Maja Vestida" (The Clothed Maja). These works, created between 1797 and 1805, are celebrated for their bold and provocative portrayal of the female form, which was groundbreaking at the time. Goya, a prominent Spanish painter and printmaker, is known for his profound influence on both the Romantic and Modern art movements. The identity of the model for these paintings remains a subject of speculation and intrigue, with theories suggesting she could be the Duchess of Alba, a woman rumored to have had a close relationship with Goya.

"La Maja Desnuda" depicts a reclining nude woman, gazing directly at the viewer with an unabashed expression. This painting is notable for its naturalistic representation of the female body, devoid of the mythological or allegorical context that typically justified nudity in art during that era. The directness and realism of the painting were revolutionary, challenging the conventions and moral standards of the time. "La Maja Vestida," on the other hand, features the same woman in a similar pose but clothed in elaborate attire. The juxtaposition of these two paintings invites viewers to consider themes of modesty, sensuality, and the gaze.

Both paintings were originally commissioned by Manuel de Godoy, the Prime Minister of Spain, and were part of his private collection. They were later confiscated by the Spanish Inquisition, which deemed "La Maja Desnuda" obscene. Today, these masterpieces are housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where they continue to captivate audiences with their daring and enigmatic allure. Goya's Maja paintings remain significant not only for their artistic merit but also for their cultural and historical impact, reflecting the complex interplay of art, politics, and society in late 18th and early 19th century Spain.
