Description
Saint Joan of Arc icon Joan of Arc, a peasant girl living in medieval France, believed that God had chosen her to lead France to victory in its long-running war with England. With no military training, Joan convinced the embattled crown prince Charles of Valois to allow her to lead a French army to the besieged city of Orléans, where it achieved a momentous victory over the English & their French allies, the Burgundians. After seeing the prince crowned King Charles VII, Joan was captured by Anglo-Burgundian forces, tried for witchcraft & heresy & burned at the stake in 1431, at the age of 19. By the time she was officially canonized in 1920, the Maid of Orléans (as she was known) had long been considered one of history's greatest saints, & an enduring symbol of French unity & nationalism Hand-drawn & painted with precision on glass using high-quality acrylic paints, this exquisite icon exudes artistic brilliance. Encased in a wooden frame, it serves as a stunning addition to any room or office space. Its aesthetic allure makes it an ideal religious gift for various occasions like weddings, baptisms, & anniversaries.
