EDITORS COMMENTS
This wall painting, created by the skilled hand of Henry Dumoutet, depicts a pivotal moment in French history: Joan of Arc entering Orleans on April 29, 1429. At the Burgundy Gate, as dusk settles, Joan, resplendent in her iconic gold armor, rides triumphantly on a white horse. The crowd gathers to cheer and support their legendary hero, who had come to relieve the besieged city. Joan of Arc, or Jeanne d'Arc as she was known, was a folk heroine and a Roman Catholic saint. Her heroic deeds during the Hundred Years War, when France was at war with England, made her a symbol of French national pride. In this painting, we see the popular belief that Joan's arrival brought an end to the siege and turned the tide of the war in France's favor. The painting is a cherished piece of interior decor in the main lounge of the Chateaux Bougival, a castle nestled in the picturesque Seine-et-Ouise region near Paris. The grandeur of the scene is a testament to the enduring legacy of Joan of Arc and her role in French history.
