Spain's Francisco Goya
his usp clothed Maja
Portraits were a great delight
but he became stone-deaf at 48

Nudes were outlandish and unique in Goya’s time
A harlot asked to paint her nude with pubic hair
On criticism, he refused to paint without clothes sublime
Instead painted another one with fair clothes
Clothes make the man, especially woman with care.
