The female body in painting is one of the main subjects of art history. Until today, the figure was studied academically and did not go beyond aesthetic anxiety. In early Turkish paintings, the figures mostly reflect the cultures of the period. Under the influence of the religious and political structure of the period, nudity was regarded as a sin rather than an art object. It has taken its place in the world of art history as a sign of mastery in the bare academic field. When the Turkish painting is examined, it is seen that the female figure sometimes shows the ideologies of the age and sometimes aesthetic concern. In this article, the image of women in Turkish painting on some painters' art such as Osman Hamdi, Hasan Rıza, Halil Paşa, Şehzade Abdülmecit, Müfide Kadri, Tevfik Fikret, Mihri Müşfik, İbrahim Çallı, Hikmet Onat, Vecih Bereketoğlu, Nurullah Berk, Nuri İyem, Neşet Günal, Mehmet Başbuğ has been made.
