Joan of Arc | Albert Lynch | 1903
About the artwork:
Albert Lynch’s 1903 portrayal of Joan of Arc presents her as a serene, saint-like figure rather than a fierce warrior. Dressed in gleaming silver armor and holding a banner inscribed “IHS MARIA,” she stands before a Gothic cathedral, with white lilies symbolizing purity at her feet. Influenced by the elegance of Art Nouveau and the patriotic spirit of the Belle Époque, Lynch emphasizes Joan’s spiritual devotion and quiet strength. Though the original oil painting remains in private hands, the widely circulated engraving became an iconic image, capturing France’s desire to elevate Joan as both a national heroine and a divine martyr.
