EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Joan of Arc with angel" depicts the iconic French heroine, Joan of Arc, alongside an angel. Painted by Louis Maurice Boutet de Monvel in 1896, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of Joan's extraordinary story. As a young girl, Joan claimed to have heard voices from Saints Margaret the Virgin and Catherine of Alexandria as well as Archangel Michael. These divine messages inspired her to lead the French army during the Hundred Years War against English occupation and Burgundian forces. Despite being a peasant girl, she became a remarkable military leader and is now revered as a saint in the Catholic Church and patron saint of France. Tragically, Joan's fate took a dark turn when she was captured by the English and ultimately burned at the stake in 1431. Her unwavering faith and courage continue to inspire people around the world. Boutet de Monvel's artwork showcases his talent for capturing historical figures with great detail and emotion. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Joan's bravery amidst adversity during medieval times. Displayed proudly on any wall or within any art collection, this print not only pays tribute to one of history's most influential women but also serves as an emblematic symbol of strength, resilience, and devotion.
