1412 1431 Altar Armour Halo Heroine Ingres Joan Monk Pious
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the legendary French heroine, Joan of Arc, standing proudly at the altar of a church. Dressed in full armor and adorned with a radiant halo, Joan of Arc exudes an aura of pious devotion and unwavering determination. The year is believed to be around 1412 to 1431, a time when Joan's extraordinary life unfolded. Joan of Arc, born in Domrémy, France, was a peasant girl who claimed divine guidance from the saints. At the tender age of 17, she heard voices from the saints telling her to lead the French army against the English invaders. With nothing but her faith and courage, she convinced the Dauphin of France, Charles VII, to allow her to join the battlefield. This powerful image, created by the renowned French painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, captures the essence of Joan of Arc's extraordinary story. The intricate details of her armor and helmet are meticulously rendered, while the halo above her head signifies her divine connection. The presence of a monk in the background adds to the historical context, reminding us of the religious fervor that fueled Joan's actions. Joan of Arc's military successes were nothing short of miraculous. She led the French army to several victories, including the siege of Orléans, which is often credited with turning the tide of the Hundred Years' War in France's favor. However, her triumphs were short-lived. In 1431, Joan was captured by the Burgundians and later handed over to the English, who put her on trial for heresy. Despite her denials, she was found guilty and burned at the stake. This evocative print serves as a poignant reminder of Joan of Arc's indomitable spirit and her enduring legacy as a symbol of French national pride and religious devotion.
