EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical moment - the ashes of Joan of Arc and the stake that held her during her execution being thrown into the Seine River. Taken from an engraving by Emile Deshays in c. 1900, this image is a powerful representation of the martyrdom and legacy of Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc, also known as the Maid of Orleans, was a French heroine who played a pivotal role during the Hundred Years War with England. She led several military campaigns and inspired her countrymen to fight for their independence. However, she was eventually captured by English forces and accused of various charges including witchcraft and heresy. The scene depicted in this print captures the solemn moment when Joan's remains are scattered into the river, symbolizing both her tragic fate and ultimate triumph as a national icon. The city walls, church spires, and bustling crowd surrounding this event create an atmosphere filled with reverence and awe. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel connected to history itself - witnessing firsthand how one woman's courage continues to resonate through time. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of darkness, there is always hope for redemption. This print not only captures an important historical event but also highlights Deshays' artistic talent in capturing emotion through his engravings. It stands as a testament to our collective memory and admiration for Joan of Arc - forever etched into our hearts like these ashes cast upon the waters.
