Product Description
The Naked Maja Postcard
Francisco de Goya
This modern postcard features a reproduction of Francisco de Goya's (1746-1828) oil on canvas painting La maja desnuda (The Naked Maja) from 1800. The painting, probably the Spanish painter Goya's most famous, is of a beautiful maja lying nude on a bed of pillows. .
A maja was a member of the Madrid artistic scene of the early nineteenth century who distinguished themselves by their pure, gracious use of the Castilian language and their elaborate outfits. They were people from the lower classes of society who nevertheless had great style and verve, and made sure they always looked good.
