Joan of Arc Pictures

By Jone Johnson Lewis, About.com Guide

Just as the 20th century has seen many different portrayals of Joan of Arc in film, earlier centuries envisioned Joan of Arc in many different portrayals in art. Here's a nineteenth century version, from about 1880 from a photoengraving by Mme. Zoe-Laure de Chatillon. She is depicted in women's dress, which is anachronistic in style, and unusual given the charges against Joan for wearing men's clothing.
