1429 Attack Banner Charge Encourages Fortress Jeanne Joan Orleans Spears Waving Years
EDITORS COMMENTS
Joan of Arc, the legendary heroine of France, is depicted in this powerful and evocative print waving a white banner, urging her soldiers to attack the fortified walls of Orleans in 1429. The year was pivotal in the Hundred Years War between France and England, as the English had laid siege to the city, cutting off its supply lines and leaving its inhabitants in dire straits. Joan of Arc, a humble peasant girl from Domremy, had been visited by divine visions since her childhood, inspiring her to lead the French army to victory against the English. At just 19 years old, she donned men's armor and rode into battle, leading her troops with unwavering determination and courage. With her white banner held high, Joan of Arc rallied her soldiers, instilling in them a sense of hope and determination. The sight of their fearless leader, waving her banner and brandishing her sword, galvanized the troops to charge forward against the heavily fortified English position. The battle of Orleans became a turning point in the war, with the French forces managing to breach the English defenses and lift the siege. The victory boosted morale and renewed the French spirit, paving the way for further victories and ultimately, the eventual expulsion of the English from France. This print, with its vivid details and dramatic composition, transports us back to the tumultuous events of the Hundred Years War and the extraordinary story of Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orléans.
