EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Capture of Joan of Arc in Compiegne, France, during the Hundred Years War. Dating back to 1430, this lithograph by James William Edmund Doyle in 1864 beautifully depicts the intense battlefield scene where Joan (1412-1431), famously known as the Maid of Orleans, valiantly defended Compiegne against English forces. In this image, we see Joan clad in her armor, standing tall amidst a chaotic and fierce battle. Her unwavering determination shines through as she leads her fellow soldiers into combat. The vibrant colors bring to life the medieval setting and evoke a sense of patriotism and heroism. Joan's capture by Burgundian troops is depicted with great detail and emotion. Sold to the English following her capture, she would later face martyrdom for her beliefs and actions inspired by visions and prophecies. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of Joan's courage and resilience in defending her country. The historical significance of this image cannot be overstated. It represents not only an important event during one of Europe's longest conflicts but also showcases a remarkable woman who defied societal norms to become a symbol of hope for many. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the bravery exhibited on that fateful day when Saint Joan fought fearlessly for what she believed in – leaving an indelible mark on history forevermore.
