EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting presence of Geraldine Farrar as she embodies the indomitable spirit of Joan of Arc. Dated 1916, the image finds Farrar dressed in an intricately detailed costume, complete with a flowing tunic, armor, and the iconic headdress adorned with a fiery, golden halo. With unwavering conviction, she holds aloft a large, red and white banner, symbolizing the French tricolor flag, a testament to her unyielding devotion to her country. Farrar's portrayal of Joan of Arc in the 1916 Metropolitan Opera production of "Hérodiade" marked a significant departure from the traditional interpretation of the character. Instead of a simple, pious maiden, Farrar brought a newfound complexity to the role, imbuing Joan with a fierce determination and magnetic allure. This photograph encapsulates the essence of her groundbreaking performance, making it an invaluable historical document and a testament to Farrar's extraordinary talent. The intricate details of her costume, from the meticulously crafted armor to the delicate embroidery on her tunic, serve to underscore the depth of her commitment to the role. The striking contrast between the rich, red and white flag and the dark, dramatic background further emphasizes the boldness and courage of Joan of Arc, as well as Farrar's captivating portrayal of her. This photograph stands as a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of Geraldine Farrar and her unforgettable interpretation of one of history's most iconic figures.
