EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Joan of Arc fearlessly demands the release of French prisoners from the clutches of the English and Burgundian army. Painted by Louis Maurice Boutet de Monvel in 1896, this illustration vividly depicts Joan's unwavering determination and courage during the Hundred Years War. Joan of Arc, also known as the Maid of Orleans, was not only a soldier but also a saint and an iconic figure in Christianity. As a young woman leading the French army against occupying forces, she became a symbol of hope and inspiration for her countrymen. In this scene, set on June 18th, 1429, Joan stands tall with conviction as she confronts her adversaries. Her presence commands attention while her plea for mercy echoes through time. The viewer can almost feel the tension between opposing sides as they witness this extraordinary display of bravery. The image serves as a reminder of Joan's remarkable achievements and tragic fate. Despite being burnt at the stake by the English in 1431 at just nineteen years old, her legacy endures to this day. She is revered as both a national hero and patron saint of France. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical masterpiece from M. Boutet de Monvel's collection published in 1918 by David McKay. This print allows us to delve into an era filled with conflict, faith, and unwavering determination—a testament to human resilience that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
