Joanna the Mad of Castille (1479-1555), the Young Charles V (1500-58) and his sister - A Glimpse into a Troubled Royal Family
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an exquisite oil on canvas painting by Nicolaus Alexander Mair von Landshut, depicting Joanna the Mad of Castille, her young son Charles V, and their daughter. Measuring 84.5x59 cm, this artwork is held in a private collection. The image portrays Joanna as a regal figure dressed in an elegant robe, while her children stand beside her. However, behind this seemingly serene scene lies a tragic tale of madness and sorrow. Joanna's mental illness consumed her after the death of her beloved husband Philip the Fair. Known as Jeanne la Folle or Juana la Loca in Spanish folklore, she became infamous for her descent into insanity. Despite these challenges, Joanna was still recognized as Queen of Castille and Aragon during her reign. Her son Charles V would go on to become one of Europe's most powerful rulers. This painting not only captures the intricate details of 16th-century costumes but also serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities that lie beneath royal façades. It symbolizes both maternal love and tragedy within this troubled family dynamic. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this historical gem from German art history for our appreciation today. Its portrayal of familial bonds amidst mental illness makes it an intriguing piece that sparks curiosity
