Banner Insides Joan Manuscript Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, dated 1429, depicts the legendary figure of Joan of Arc holding a sword and a banner in an interior setting, reminiscent of a manuscript illumination. The sketch, now housed in the National Library of France in Paris, offers a unique glimpse into the artistic representation of Joan of Arc during her time. Joan of Arc, a peasant girl from Domrémy, France, rose to prominence in the late 15th century when she claimed divine guidance from saints, donned men's armor, and led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War against England. Her courage and unwavering faith made her a symbol of French nationalism and a heroine in French history. In this sketch, Joan of Arc is depicted in a vertical, up-right position, her strong and determined stance exuding confidence and power. She holds a sword in her right hand, its sharp edge glinting in the dimly lit interior, while her left hand clutches a colorful banner, likely bearing the fleur-de-lis symbol of France. The sketch's vibrant colors and intricate details add to the sense of authenticity and historical significance. The manuscript-like quality of the sketch further emphasizes the importance of Joan of Arc in French history and culture. The sketch's vertical orientation and the presence of the manuscript side suggest that it may have originally been part of a larger work, possibly a chronicle or a religious text. Regardless of its original context, this sketch remains a valuable and intriguing artifact, offering a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and historical representation of Joan of Arc during her time.
