Joan of Arc at the Coronation of King Charles VII by
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
This masterful work depicts Joan of Arc at the coronation of Charles VII in Reims, a pivotal moment where the Maid's spiritual mission found its political and religious fulfillment. Dressed in her armor, holding the fleur-de-lis banner, Joan embodies faith, courage, and the divine legitimacy of the Kingdom of France.

Painted by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, a major figure in French classicism, this solemn composition exalts Christian France, the sacred monarchy, and national unity. The precise treatment of lines, the nobility of the poses, and the rich symbolism of the work make it an iconic painting in French historical heritage.
