"Juana of Castile," also known as "Juana la Loca" or "Joanna the Mad," is a notable oil painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Juan de Flandes. Created around the early 16th century, this work is a significant representation of Juana I of Castile, a historical figure whose life was marked by political intrigue, personal tragedy, and mental health struggles. Juana, born in 1479, was the daughter of the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, and she became the queen regnant of Castile and León from 1504 and of Aragon from 1516.

Juan de Flandes, originally from Flanders, was an accomplished court painter who worked extensively in Spain. His style is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, vibrant color palettes, and a keen ability to capture the psychological depth of his subjects. In "Juana of Castile," de Flandes employs these techniques to convey both the regal bearing and the troubled psyche of the queen. The painting is often noted for its delicate rendering of textures, such as the luxurious fabrics of Juana's attire and the intricate details of her surroundings, which reflect the opulence of the Spanish court.

The portrait of Juana is imbued with a sense of melancholy and introspection, which aligns with historical accounts of her life. Juana's marriage to Philip the Handsome of Burgundy was fraught with difficulties, and following his death, her mental health reportedly deteriorated, leading to her confinement by her father and later by her son, Charles V. This painting not only serves as a visual document of Juana's appearance but also as a poignant reminder of her complex and tragic story.

"Juana of Castile" by Juan de Flandes remains an important work within the canon of Renaissance portraiture, offering insights into the life of a queen whose legacy has been overshadowed by her moniker, "the Mad." The painting is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance.
