EDITORS COMMENTS
The Maid of Orleans, c1870s" is a captivating print that depicts the 15th-century French patriot and martyr, St Joan. Created by T Ballin, this 19th-century artwork beautifully captures the essence of Joan's courageous spirit and unwavering determination. During the tumultuous Hundred Years War between England and France, Joan emerged as a fearless leader who led resistance against English forces. However, her valiant efforts eventually led to her capture by the Burgundians in 1430. Sold to the English and subsequently handed over to the ecclesiastical court of the Inquisition at Rouen, she faced charges of heresy and sorcery. This poignant image showcases Joan clad in armor, symbolizing her indomitable strength amidst adversity. Her anxious expression reflects both apprehension for what lies ahead and an unwavering faith in her cause. A loyal companion stands beside her - a faithful dog offering solace during these trying times. The artist skillfully portrays Joan's devotion to God through subtle religious imagery such as a jug representing sustenance and bread symbolizing spiritual nourishment. The portrait exudes a sense of medieval mysticism while capturing the essence of this remarkable historical figure. Henrietta Ward's collaboration with T Ballin adds depth to this artwork by highlighting different aspects of St Joan's life. Together they bring forth not only an artistic masterpiece but also pay homage to one of history's most inspiring women. "The Maid Of Orleans" serves as a powerful reminder of St Joan's martyrdom on May 30th, 1431 – an event that forever etched her name into history books as an emblematic figure who fearlessly fought for justice during turbulent times.
