EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases a historic banner commemorating the liberation of Orleans in 1429. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. The banner was originally given to the city by King Francis I of France and became an integral part of annual processions during the 16th century. The illustration, taken from Jeanne d Arc by H Wallon (Librairie de Firmin-Didot et Cie, Paris, 1876), depicts a scene filled with symbolism and religious fervor. In the foreground stands a woman believed to be Joan of Arc herself, dressed in armor as she leads her troops towards victory. Surrounding her are bishops, priests, and members of various religious orders who played significant roles during this historical event. A river flows peacefully beneath them while a majestic bridge connects both sides of the city. This image represents not only physical liberation but also spiritual triumph over adversity. The presence of an angel hovering above adds an ethereal touch to this commemorative piece. The Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus can also be seen on one side, emphasizing divine intervention throughout these turbulent times. Through vibrant colors and intricate details captured through lithography techniques, this print transports viewers back to medieval France when courage and faith united people against oppression. Overall, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of history's defining moments and pays homage to those who fought for freedom centuries ago.
