"Juana la Loca" (1878) is an oil painting by the Spanish artist Francisco Pradilla y Ortiz, which has become one of his most recognized works and a significant piece within 19th-century Spanish art. The painting depicts Joanna of Castile, historically known as Joanna the Mad, mourning over the coffin of her late husband, Philip the Handsome. Pradilla's portrayal of the grieving queen captures the tragic intensity of her mental state and the dramatic moment of her life, which has been a subject of historical fascination and artistic interpretation.

The painting is characterized by its meticulous detail, historical accuracy, and emotional depth. Pradilla conducted extensive research to ensure the authenticity of the period costumes and setting, reflecting his commitment to the historical genre. The composition is marked by a somber palette and a masterful use of light and shadow, which serve to enhance the psychological tension within the scene.

"Juana la Loca" was commissioned by the Spanish Senate in 1877 and was met with critical acclaim upon its unveiling. It earned Pradilla a first-class medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts (Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes) in Madrid and solidified his reputation as a leading painter of historical scenes. The work is often cited as a prime example of the Romanticism movement that influenced many artists of the time, with its emphasis on emotion and individual experience.

Today, the painting is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and its poignant representation of one of Spain's most enigmatic historical figures.
