1412 1431 Armour Feather Feathers Heroine Joan Skirt Topped
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the indomitable spirit of Joan of Arc, the legendary French heroine who defied the odds and changed the course of history. Born in eastern France around 1412, Joan of Arc, also known as the Maid of Orléans, was a humble peasant girl who claimed divine guidance and inspired the French army during its darkest hour. Dressed in full armor and wearing her distinctive feather-topped hat, Joan stands tall and proud, her right hand gripping the hilt of her sword with unwavering determination. The year was 1429, and the English had laid siege to Orléans, a strategic city on the Loire River. With the French army in disarray and morale at an all-time low, Joan of Arc arrived on the scene, leading her troops into battle and turning the tide against the English. Her military successes continued, culminating in the coronation of Charles VII as King of France in Reims in 1429. This powerful photograph, taken from an original print from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of Joan of Arc's unyielding courage and resilience. Her long, flowing skirt and intricately designed armor are testament to the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the medieval period. The feathers on her hat, once a symbol of her divine connection, now stand as a reminder of her enduring legacy. Joan of Arc's story is one of faith, bravery, and triumph against all odds, and this image serves as a poignant reminder of her indelible impact on French history.
