Joan of Arc Comes to the Court of the French King, c1930
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back in time to a significant moment in history. In this scene, we witness Joan of Arc, clad in her iconic armor, arriving at the Castle of Chinon in 1429. The young Joan (1412-1431), who claimed to hear heavenly voices guiding her actions, had come with a bold mission - to convince King Charles VII of France that he would grant her an army to relieve the siege of Orleans. The image is taken from an ancient tapestry displayed at Orleans, making it one of the few contemporary representations we have of Joan herself. It captures the solemnity and grandeur surrounding this pivotal encounter between a humble peasant girl turned warrior-saint and the monarch she sought aid from. As we gaze upon this monochrome snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of Joan's unwavering faith but also her courage as she navigated through a male-dominated society during medieval times. Her presence amidst soldiers and banners signifies both her determination and divine calling. This photograph comes from "The World's Story" authored by Elizabeth O'Neill. Through its lens, we glimpse into history - witnessing an extraordinary woman who defied societal norms and left an indelible mark on France's destiny.
