EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jules Bastien-Lepage's iconic painting, "Joan of Arc" which depicts the medieval teenage martyr from Lorraine. Painted in 1879 during a time when France ceded territory to Germany in the Franco-Prussian War, Joan of Arc gained renewed significance as a patriotic symbol. As a native of Lorraine himself, Bastien-Lepage masterfully portrays Saints Michael, Margaret, and Catherine appearing to the peasant girl in her parents' garden. The ethereal figures awaken Joan's spirit and inspire her to fight against English invaders during the Hundred Years War. With remarkable attention to detail and naturalism, this realist masterpiece captures both the heroine's calling and the suffering she endured for her country. Set amidst the picturesque countryside of France's province, this painting evokes a sense of pride and patriotism that resonates even today. Bastien-Lepage skillfully brings forth Joan's vision through his brushstrokes, emphasizing her unwavering faith and determination. This powerful apparition scene immortalizes not only Joan but also serves as an emblematic representation of territorial struggle and religious devotion. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this magnificent artwork continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It stands as a testament to Joan of Arc's enduring legacy as one of history's most revered warriors and martyrs – La Pucelle d'Orléans – forever etched into our collective consciousness.
