Dania Juana La Loca by Pradiglia. If Queen Juana La Loca in this painting by Pradiglia
00:00:00
had her phone with her, I'm sure she would have been listening at that exact moment
00:00:06
to La Perla by Rosalia. She was the daughter of the Catholic monarchs and the wife of Philip
00:00:10
the Handsome, though between you and me, he really wasn't all that handsome, and with whom she had
00:00:16
what we would probably call nowadays a toxic relationship, just full of red flags. In fact,
00:00:21
Juana had a very tragic life, starting with the death of her husband in 1506 and her later
00:00:28
confinement in the castle of Tordesillas until her death in 1555. But let's not spoil future
00:00:34
events and just have a look at this specific moment first. This painting shows the months
00:00:41
after Philip died. His last wish was to be buried in Granada. Juana was just so devastated and so
00:00:46
in love that of course she decided to make the journey from Burgos to Granada just to fulfill
00:00:53
his wish. But it was a very strange journey. They only traveled at night, and they stopped to pray
00:00:58
during the day, constantly opening the coffin to check if Felipe was still in there. For years,
00:01:04
she traveled like this. Because of this behavior, people called her La Loca, making it easier for
00:01:10
her dad and her own son to establish that she wasn't fit to rule the country. In this scene,
00:01:15
they're in the middle of a Castilian field in winter. Why not inside a building? Well,
00:01:21
that's because the nearby convent was full of nuns, and Juana was so jealous that she didn't
00:01:27
want any other women near her husband's body. Not even if he was dead. So she, and everyone else,
00:01:32
had to stay outside in the freezing wind. In the painting, Juana looks empty and lost.
00:01:38
She's wearing two rings, indicating that she's now a widow. But look at her belly,
00:01:45
positioned at the center of the painting, and not by accident. You can see that she's pregnant with
00:01:50
her daughter Catalina. Now her sadness makes even more sense. She's all alone with a baby on the
00:01:55
way. It really is tragic, isn't it? And by showing this in the painting, making it the focus point,
00:02:02
it's a symbol of hope. It shows that even after death, life continues. This is just one painting
00:02:10
from the Here You Art network inside the Prado. If you want to know more about this and other
00:02:16
Prado masterpieces, check out the Here You Art audio guide, where you can choose your own path
00:02:21
without getting lost, or even worse, going mad.
