John Everett Millais captures the solemn strength of Joan of Arc in this luminous oil painting, rendered with the precise detail and emotional depth characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Clad in shining armor with downcast eyes turned heavenward, Joan appears both devout and defiant—an icon of faith and heroism. The dramatic contrast between the metallic sheen of her armor and the rich red fabric beneath creates a striking focal point, perfectly suited to a bold, reverent space.
