The Maid in Armor on Horseback (Joan of Arc series - III)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Louis Maurice Boutet de Monvel. Created between 1908 and late 1909, this artwork transports us back to the 15th century, immersing us in the heroic tale of Joan of Arc. In this particular print, we witness Joan of Arc herself, dressed in shining armor atop her majestic horse. The gold leaf accents add an ethereal glow to the scene, emphasizing her divine mission as she prepares for battle. With unwavering determination etched onto her face, she embodies bravery and resilience. Boutet de Monvel's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate metalwork on Joan's armor to the realistic rendering of her faithful steed. The artist masterfully captures both the strength and vulnerability within his subject. This painting not only pays homage to a historical figure but also explores themes such as faith, gender roles, and national identity. Through cross-dressing as a knight and leading armies into battle during a time when women were expected to be submissive, Joan challenges societal norms and becomes an emblematic heroine. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this masterpiece serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and celebrates extraordinary individuals who defy conventions for noble causes. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own courage and convictions while admiring Boutet de Monvel's artistic prowess.
