query: creator la maja desnuda
supports: The Nude Maja ( Spanish : La Maja Desnuda ) is a name given to a c. 1797 - 1800 oil on canvas painting by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya . It portrays a nude woman reclining on a bed of pillows , and was probably commissioned by Manuel de Godoy , to hang in his private collection in a separate cabinet reserved for nude paintings . Goya created a pendant of the same woman identically posed , but clothed , known today as La maja vestida ( The Clothed Maja ) ; also in the Prado , it is usually hung next to La maja desnuda . The subject is identified as a maja based on her costume in La maja vestida . The painting is renowned for the straightforward and unashamed gaze of the model towards the viewer . It has also been cited as among the earliest Western artwork to depict a nude woman 's pubic hair without obvious negative connotations ( such as in images of prostitutes ) . With this work Goya not only upset the ecclesiastical authorities , but also titillated the public and extended the artistic horizon of the day . It has been in the Museo del Prado in Madrid since 1901 . The Prado Museum is the main Spanish national art museum, located in central Madrid. It features one of the world's finest collections of European art, dating from the 12th century to the early 20th century, based on the former Spanish Royal Collection, and unquestionably the best single collection of Spanish art. Founded as a museum of paintings and sculpture in 1819, it also contains important collections of other types of works. El Prado is one of the most visited sites in the world, and is considered one of the greatest museums of art in the world. The numerous works by Francisco de Goya, the single most extensively represented artist, as well as by Diego Velázquez, El Greco, Titian, Peter Paul Rubens and Hieronymus Bosch are some of the highlights of the collection. The Clothed Maja is a painting by the Spanish painter Francisco de Goya between 1800 and 1805. It is a clothed version of the earlier "La maja desnuda" (17971800) and is exhibited next to it in the same room at the Prado Museum in Madrid. The painting was first owned by Prime Minister Manuel de Godoy, who was known as an avid womanizer, and originally hung in his home in front of the "Naked Maja" in such a manner that the "Naked Maja" could be revealed at any time with the help of a pulley mechanism. It was twice in the collection of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, also in Madrid, being "sequestered" by the Spanish Inquisition between 1814 and 1836, and has been in the Museo del Prado since 1901.
