Vintage sculpture "Joan of Arc". Bronze, marble. Europe, the twentieth century. This unusual bronze sculpture depicts Jeanne d'Arc, the Maid of Orleans, a fearless and at the same time humble warrior, standing in solemn prayer. The armor covering her body is a reminder of her role as a soldier chosen for a divine destiny, while her calm posture and high chin betray a woman guided by fate. At her feet, on a simple pedestal, rests a sword resting on a helmet, symbolizing the temporary lull before the battle and the waiting sacrifice. The statue radiates a mixture of purity and determination, reflecting the duality that made Jeanne d'Ark is an icon of French history.
