EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a pivotal moment from Voltaire's La Pucelle, a fictionalized account of the life of Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc). In the image, a weary and imprisoned Joan (1412-1431) is shown receiving a comforting vision of Saint Denis, the patron saint of Paris, as she languishes in a dark and dingy cell. The year is 1431, and the military leader and mystic, who had led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years War against England, has been captured by the English and is awaiting trial. The incident depicted in this print may not have occurred in real life, but it speaks to the enduring power of faith and the human spirit during times of adversity. In the image, Joan's eyes are closed as she gazes up at the vision of Saint Denis, who appears to be offering her solace and strength. The saint's halo shines brightly, casting a warm glow over the scene and providing a stark contrast to the gloom of the prison cell. The print also serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often controversial legacy of Joan of Arc. A hero to some and a heretic to others, her life and actions continue to be the subject of debate and fascination. This image captures a moment of vulnerability and spiritual resilience, offering a glimpse into the inner world of one of history's most enigmatic figures.
