EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting lithograph, titled "Joan la Pucelle abandoned by her friends" captures a pivotal moment in the tragic story of Joan of Arc. Created by John Gilbert in 1890, this print depicts a scene from William Shakespeare's play, King Henry VI, Part I. In this eerie and ghoulish illustration, we see Joan kneeling alone in prayer as she is surrounded by smoke and ghostly apparitions. The artist skillfully portrays the abandonment that Joan experiences at this crucial point in her life. Her once loyal friends have turned their backs on her, leaving her to face the challenges ahead all on her own. The image evokes a sense of both despair and resilience as Joan remains devout despite being forsaken by those she trusted. The presence of spirits and devils adds an otherworldly element to the composition, emphasizing the supernatural aspects often associated with Joan's story. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, Gilbert creates a captivating visual narrative that draws viewers into the emotional turmoil experienced by one of history's most iconic female figures. This lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals who dare to challenge societal norms and fight for what they believe in. Displayed within private collections around the world today, this print continues to captivate audiences with its powerful depiction of abandonment and devotion.
