EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Joan la Pucelle at the Stake, 1890" transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. Depicting Joan of Arc on the brink of her tragic fate, this print captures the essence of her unwavering courage and unyielding faith. Rendered by artist John Gilbert in 1890, this illustration is part of The Illustrated Library Shakespeare collection. It brings to life a scene from William Shakespeare's play King Henry VI, Part I. As we gaze upon this image, we witness Joan la Pucelle standing resolutely at the stake as she faces her impending execution. The composition exudes both tension and solemnity. Flames flicker ominously around Joan as she bravely accepts her death sentence for her beliefs. Her saintly presence is juxtaposed against a backdrop of historical significance - King Henry VI and his court bear witness to this harrowing event. Intriguingly detailed with horses surrounding the scene, this lithograph immerses us in an era where martyrdom was not uncommon. Through its powerful imagery and symbolism, it invites contemplation on themes such as sacrifice, persecution, and resilience. Preserved within a private collection but made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder website (www. bridgemanimages. com), this print serves as a poignant reminder of Joan's indomitable spirit that continues to inspire generations even today.
