EDITORS COMMENTS
The Arming of Joan of Arc" is a captivating pen and ink drawing by Edward Linley Sambourne, created in the year 1900. The image portrays the legendary figure of Joan of Arc, a heroine of France famed for her role during the Hundred Years War. Joan of Arc, dressed in her iconic armor, stands tall and resolute in the center of the drawing. Her expression is determined, her gaze focused, and her posture unyielding. The armor, intricately detailed, covers her entire body, leaving only her face exposed. Her hands are clenched in a firm grip, holding a sword in her right hand and a shield in her left. The shield bears the fleur-de-lis, the symbol of the French monarchy. The scene takes place in a dimly lit room, with rays of sunlight streaming in through the windows, casting long shadows on the stone floor. The room is filled with men, some of whom are helping Joan into her armor, while others are preparing weapons and armor for her. The atmosphere is tense, yet there is a sense of awe and reverence in the room. Edward Linley Sambourne's masterful use of pen and ink brings the image to life, capturing the essence of Joan of Arc's courage and determination. The drawing is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable historical figure, who defied gender norms and led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years War. Joan of Arc remains an iconic symbol of French national pride, and this beautiful drawing serves as a reminder of her indomitable spirit and unwavering commitment to her country. The Arming of Joan of Arc is not only a work of art but also a powerful historical document that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
