EDITORS COMMENTS
Joan of Arc, the legendary Maid of Lorraine and national heroine of France, is depicted in this stunning 1922 artwork by the Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen. Clad in the attire of a page, Joan humbly kneels before the Dauphin Charles, the future King of France, in an audience that would ultimately change the course of history. Joan, dressed in the ornate and decorative pages dress, is a testament to her spiritual and religious devotion. As a peasant girl from a small village, she was called by divine intervention to deliver France from the English occupation during the Hundred Years War. Her courage and unwavering faith led her to become a martyr and eventually a saint in the Catholic Church. The artwork captures the moment of reverence and respect as Joan, disguised as a page, presents herself before the Dauphin. Her hand is raised in a gesture of submission, while the ladies and women of the court look on in awe. The ornate and intricate style of Kay Nielsen's artwork adds to the sense of grandeur and importance of the scene. Joan's martyrdom and eventual canonization have cemented her place in French history as a symbol of courage, faith, and national pride. This artwork is a beautiful representation of her story and the impact she had on the 7th century, a time of war and uncertainty for France.
