Description
Etching by Henrietta Mary Ada Ward. Scene in a hut, with Joan of Arc as a girl, wearing a rosary on her belt, standing at a table on which lie a loaf of bread, onion and knife, leaning on a jug, looking down to front, with a worried expression on her face; a knight seated on a wooden bench at left, a dog licking his right hand, resting on a sword, knights on horseback seen through the window in background at right. Joan of Arc (1412-1431) national heroine of France and a Roman Catholic saint. A peasant girl born in eastern France who claimed divine guidance, she led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War, which paved the way for the coronation of Charles VII. She was captured by the Burgundians, sold to the English, tried by an ecclesiastical court, and burned at the stake when she was 19 years old. Twenty-five years after the execution, Pope Callixtus III examined the trial, pronounced her innocent and declared her a martyr. Joan of Arc was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920. She is one of the Patron Saints of France
