EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Joan of Arc's entry into Orleans on the evening of the town's liberation, May 8,1429. Painted by Henry Sheffer between 1818 and 1862, this artwork depicts St. Joan, also known as the Maid of Orleans, in her full armor and mounted on a majestic horse. With unwavering determination and bravery, she successfully relieved the English siege that had plagued Orleans. The painting beautifully portrays Joan as a warrior saint with a flag held high in one hand while riding through the chaos of warfare. Surrounding her are monks and priests who offer their blessings to this remarkable woman who would later become a martyr for her country. Sheffer's use of color adds depth to this medieval scene, highlighting Joan as an inspiration during the tumultuous times of war in France. The artist skillfully captures both male and female figures present at this significant event. This print serves as a powerful reminder not only of Joan's heroism but also showcases how art can immortalize historical moments. It is truly an acclaimed piece from the nineteenth century that pays homage to Saint Joan's courage and patriotism during the Hundred Years War.
