"La Demencia de Doña Juana de Castilla" (The Madness of Doña Juana of Castile), also known as "Juana la Loca," is a renowned historical painting by the Spanish artist Lorenzo Vallés. Created in 1866, the work is a romanticized portrayal of the tragic life of Joanna of Castile, also known as Joanna the Mad, a queen of Castile who lived from 1479 to 1555. Vallés' painting reflects the 19th-century fascination with historical narratives and the romantic idealization of mental illness as a subject of pathos and beauty.

The painting depicts a moment from the life of Joanna, who was the daughter of the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, and the mother of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. Joanna's mental state deteriorated after the death of her husband, Philip the Handsome, and she was known for her excessive mourning. In Vallés' work, she is shown in a state of disheveled despair, surrounded by figures that may represent her family, courtiers, or allegorical representations of her condition.

Lorenzo Vallés, a painter associated with the Spanish Romantic school, was known for his historical and genre scenes. His depiction of Joanna of Castile is imbued with the emotional intensity characteristic of Romanticism, emphasizing the dramatic and psychological aspects of her story. The painting is a significant example of 19th-century Spanish art and contributes to the cultural memory of Joanna as a historical figure whose life has been subject to various interpretations and mythologizations.

"La Demencia de Doña Juana de Castilla" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and for its representation of a poignant episode in Spanish history. The painting can be seen as a reflection of the period's attitudes towards royalty, mental illness, and the role of women in society. It remains an important work for its historical context, its emotional depth, and its place within the oeuvre of Lorenzo Vallés.
