"La Monstrua Desnuda (Eugenia Martinez Vallejo Unclothed)" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Juan Carreño de Miranda, created in 1680. The work is one of two contrasting portraits of Eugenia Martínez Vallejo, a court figure known for her corpulence, which was a subject of fascination at the time. In this particular painting, Vallejo is depicted nude, which was a highly unconventional choice for the portrayal of a living person who was not a spouse or a mythological figure. The painting is often paired with its counterpart, "La Monstrua Vestida (Eugenia Martinez Vallejo Clothed)," where Vallejo is depicted in luxurious attire.

The term "monstrua," used in the titles of both works, refers to the subject's physical condition, which was seen as a 'monstrosity' or an extraordinary deviation from the norm. Vallejo suffered from a medical condition that caused her extreme obesity, and she was brought to the court of King Charles II of Spain as a curiosity. Carreño de Miranda's paintings of Vallejo are significant for their candid and unidealized representation of the human body, as well as for their insight into the Baroque period's attitudes towards physical differences and the spectacle of the human body.

"La Monstrua Desnuda" is particularly striking for its directness and the dignified composure of its subject, despite the potential for exploitation or ridicule. The painting reflects the complex interplay of power, spectacle, and the artist's own role in the representation of courtly life. It is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its challenging of social norms regarding beauty and representation in art. The painting is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be an important work for the study of Spanish Baroque art and the cultural history of the period.
