EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting Joan of Arc at the stake. Taken from Les Vigiles de Charles VII, an illuminated manuscript by Martial d'Auvergne dating back to 1484, this image showcases the tragic fate of the French heroine and martyr. Joan of Arc's unwavering faith and determination made her a symbol of hope during the tumultuous 15th century. However, her actions were deemed heretical by some, leading to her ultimate demise as she was burned at the stake. This powerful depiction on vellum evokes both admiration for Joan's bravery and sadness for her untimely end. The artwork is housed in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, serving as a testament to its historical significance within French culture. The Valois family and King Charles VII are also referenced in this piece, highlighting their roles during this period of European history. Martial de Paris (known as Auvergne), the artist behind this masterpiece, skillfully captures the intensity and emotion surrounding Joan's execution. With every brushstroke meticulously executed on vellum, he immortalizes not only Joan but also an era marked by political turmoil and religious fervor. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are reminded once again of Joan's indomitable spirit that continues to inspire generations worldwide.
