EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic figure of Joan of Arc, taken from the Vie des Femmes Celebres manuscript dating back to around 1505. Created on vellum by an anonymous French School artist in the 16th century, this artwork is now housed in the Musee Thomas Dobree in Nantes, France. The image depicts Joan of Arc (c. 1412-31), also known as Jeanne d'Arc, who was a courageous and revered French heroine. She famously led the French army during the Hundred Years' War against England and played a significant role in securing several victories for her country. However, her story took a tragic turn when she was accused of heresy and ultimately burnt at the stake. In this portrayal, Joan is seen clad in armor while riding gallantly on horseback with a banner held high. The composition exudes strength and determination as she fearlessly leads her troops into battle. The attention to detail captures not only Joan's bravery but also highlights elements such as Antoine du Four's involvement and references to medieval times. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of Joan of Arc's unwavering spirit and sacrifice for her beliefs. It symbolizes both her status as a martyr and her enduring legacy as one of history's most influential female figures.
