Joan of Arc in Armor Before Orléans by Jules Eugène Lenepveu
This monumental work depicts Joan of Arc during the Siege of Orléans, a decisive moment in French history when the young heroine liberated the city in 1429, marking a turning point in the Hundred Years' War.

Painted by Jules Eugène Lenepveu in 1886, this scene embodies the sacred vision of Joan of Arc from the late 19th century: a figure who is at once a warrior, inspired, and providential.
