EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Joan of Arc entering Orleans" by Boutet de Monvel depicts a defining moment in history. Joan of Arc, also known as the Maid of Orleans, was a remarkable French peasant girl who rose to become a military leader during the Hundred Years War against the English army and the Dukes of Burgundy. In this illustration from 1896, we see Joan leading the French army into Orleans with unwavering determination. Clad in armor and carrying her banner high, she embodies bravery and resilience. Her actions not only inspired her troops but also made her a symbol of hope for France. Joan's story is one filled with courage and sacrifice. As a devout Christian and patron saint of France, she fought fiercely for her country's freedom until she was captured by the English forces. Sadly, at just 19 years old, she was unjustly burnt at the stake. Boutet de Monvel's artwork beautifully captures both Joan's strength as a military commander and her faith as a devoted Catholic. This print serves as a powerful reminder of an extraordinary woman who defied societal norms to lead an army during medieval times. Displayed prominently on any wall or in any collection, this image pays homage to Joan's legacy while showcasing the artistic talent behind its creation. It serves as an inspiration for all those who admire strong women throughout history and appreciate their significant contributions to society.
