EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Joan of Arc is received by Charles VII of France. Painted by Louis Maurice Boutet de Monvel in 1896, this illustration depicts a pivotal event during the Hundred Years War. In the image, we see Joan standing before Charles VII at Chinon, her determination and faith shining through her eyes. She had attempted to convince him to be crowned at Rheims, but he initially refused. However, after witnessing Joan's unwavering conviction and military prowess, Charles finally agreed to follow her lead. Joan of Arc was not just a soldier; she was also a saint and an inspiration for generations to come. As a young woman in fifteenth-century France, she defied societal norms and fearlessly led the French army against English occupation. Her bravery earned her the title "Maid of Orleans" and made her a symbol of hope for all those fighting against oppression. Tragically, despite her victories on the battlefield, Joan met a tragic end. She was captured by the English forces and burned at the stake in 1431. Nevertheless, her legacy lives on as one of courage and resilience. This remarkable print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document that reminds us of Joan's extraordinary journey from peasant girl to revered commander. It encapsulates not only an important chapter in French history but also celebrates female empowerment and religious devotion that transcends time.
