EDITORS COMMENTS
This color-printed wood engraving depicts the iconic Joan of Arc, a French patriot and martyr who left an indelible mark on history. The image portrays a full-length action scene that encapsulates the essence of her bravery and unwavering patriotism. In this momentous confrontation, Joan of Arc is shown lying down, wounded and captured while attempting to relieve Compiegne from the clutches of the Burgundians during the tumultuous year of 1430. The illustration beautifully captures both motion and suffering as it transports us back to the 19th century. Clad in her military uniform and armor, she remains a symbol of heroism even in defeat. Mounted on her horse, she valiantly carries France's flag into battle despite being wounded. This vertical print not only showcases historical significance but also highlights animal themes with its depiction of horses playing a crucial role in warfare during that era. The male likeness juxtaposed with female likeness further emphasizes Joan's extraordinary journey as a woman defying societal norms. As we gaze upon this woodcut masterpiece, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left by Joan of Arc—a true embodiment of French culture and resilience. This powerful portrayal serves as a testament to human representation at its finest while evoking emotions tied to patriotism, sacrifice, and determination.
