EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century chromolithograph captures the essence of Joan of Arc, also known as St Jeanne d'Arc, the Maid of Orleans. A symbol of unwavering faith and courage, she stands tall amidst a backdrop that echoes her tumultuous journey. Joan's story is one of both triumph and tragedy. As a young French patriot during the Hundred Years' War, she played a pivotal role in rallying her compatriots against English forces. Her unwavering belief in her divine mission to liberate France from foreign rule inspired countless others to join her cause. However, Joan's remarkable rise was met with fierce opposition from those who questioned her motives and abilities. Accused of heresy and sorcery by English authorities, she faced an unjust trial that ultimately led to her martyrdom. The image depicts the heart-wrenching scene where Joan meets her tragic fate at Rouen's market square on May 30th, 1431. Bound to a stake as flames engulfed around her, this brave young woman remained steadfast in the face of adversity until the very end. This print serves as a poignant reminder not only of Joan's sacrifice but also of the power that religious fervor can wield over history. Her legacy continues to inspire generations worldwide as an emblematic figure who defied societal norms and fought for what she believed in - even when it meant paying the ultimate price.
