EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century line engraving depicts Juana La Loca, also known as Joanna the Mad, Queen of Castile, with the embalmed corpse of her husband, Philip the Handsome. The image offers a glimpse into the intriguing and tragic life of this historical figure. Juana La Loca was renowned for her intense love and devotion to her husband. Even after his death, she kept his preserved body close at hand, symbolizing an unbreakable bond that transcended mortality. This haunting portrayal showcases Juana's unwavering commitment and perhaps hints at her descent into madness. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this Renaissance-era queen through intricate details in both clothing and expression. Her regal attire signifies her royal status while simultaneously emphasizing her grief-stricken state. The casket holding Philip's remains serves as a poignant reminder of loss and mourning. Juana La Loca's story is one filled with tragedy and intrigue. Her struggles with mental illness further add to the complexity of her character. This print not only provides a visual representation but also invites contemplation on themes such as love, loyalty, power dynamics within royalty, and the fine line between sanity and insanity. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from Granger Art on Demand collection by The Granger Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - an eternal testament to Juana La Loca's undying affection for Philip I of Castile.
