EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Joan of Arc surveys French casualties" we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history. Painted by Louis Maurice Boutet de Monvel in 1896, the image depicts Joan of Arc, also known as the Maid of Orleans, standing amidst fallen soldiers after a failed attack on the bastion of St. Loup. Joan of Arc, a remarkable French peasant girl turned military leader during the Hundred Years War against the English army and Burgundy Dukes, gazes upon her fallen comrades with a mix of determination and sorrow. Clad in armor and holding her banner high, she embodies bravery and resilience. This powerful illustration not only showcases Joan's unwavering commitment to her cause but also highlights her role as both soldier and saint. As patron saint of France, she became an emblematic figure for Christianity during these tumultuous times. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this fifteenth-century heroine through intricate details that bring historical accuracy to life. The wounded soldiers lying around Joan serve as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by those who fought alongside her. Boutet de Monvel's work serves as a poignant tribute to Joan's legacy while reminding us all of the sacrifices made during war. It is an evocative portrayal that invites contemplation about courage, faith, and human resilience in times of adversity.
