"Jeanne La Folle" is a historical painting by Charles de Steuben, a French painter who lived from 1788 to 1856. The painting depicts the death of Joanna of Castile, also known as Joanna the Mad, Queen of Castile, Leon, and Aragon, and wife of Philip I of Castile. The painting depicts Joanna in a royal chamber, lying on a bed with a priest praying over her. In the foreground, we see a seated female figure, likely Joanna's daughter. The artist uses rich, saturated colors and detailed textures to create a sense of drama and poignancy. This painting is an example of Steuben's mastery of historical genre painting, and it is a reminder of the tragic life of one of Spain's most famous monarchs.
