Dante Gabriel Rossetti's "Joan of Arc" (1882) is a Pre-Raphaelite painting depicting the French heroine in a moment of contemplation and determination. Joan is portrayed with a sword held aloft, her gaze directed upwards, her expression solemn, suggesting she is awaiting divine guidance. This artwork reflects Rossetti's fascination with strong women and their struggles for self-determination. The painting is currently housed in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK.
