This print showcases the iconic Jeanne Hachette during the intense siege of Beauvais in 1472. The courageous heroine, armed with an axe, fearlessly pushes back a Burgundy soldier from Charles the Temeraire's army. Her valiant act inspires and emboldens the women of the city to join her in repelling the attackers. Painted by Louis Joseph Watteau, also known as Watteau De Lille, in the 18th century, this masterpiece captures both the historical significance and artistic brilliance of this momentous event. Measuring at Sun 0,92x1.2 meters, it now resides in Valenciennes' Museum of Fine Arts. The image portrays Jeanne Hachette as a symbol of strength and resilience amidst war and conflict. Her determination to defend her city against overwhelming odds resonates through time, reminding us of the indomitable spirit that can be found within individuals when faced with adversity. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of France's rich history and its brave heroes who fought for their land. It encapsulates not only a pivotal battle but also reflects upon themes such as gender equality and empowerment. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Watteau De Lille, we are transported back to an era where bravery knew no bounds - where ordinary people could rise up to become extraordinary heroes.
