MacDonald also turned his attention to Joan of Arc, a French patriot and martyr from the 15th century. His painting showcased her bravery and determination as she fought for her country's freedom. Queen Guinevere, consort of King Arthur, became another subject that fascinated MacDonald. He skillfully portrayed her grace and elegance in his artwork. Marie Antoinette, Queen of France during turbulent times before the French Revolution, was yet another historical figure immortalized by MacDonald's talent. His painting captured both her opulence as well as vulnerability in delicate strokes. Anne Boleyn, wife and consort of Henry VIII and mother to Queen Elizabeth I held an air of mystery that intrigued many artists throughout history.
