"Joan of Arc," painted in 1864 by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, depicts the French heroine in a moment of contemplation, gazing upwards while holding a sword. The painting captures the essence of Joan of Arc's faith and unwavering devotion to her cause. Rossetti's Pre-Raphaelite style, known for its attention to detail and use of vibrant colors, is evident in the intricate patterns of Joan's armor and the rich hues of her garments. This work explores themes of faith, heroism, and destiny, reflecting the Pre-Raphaelite movement's fascination with medieval history and spirituality.
