Joan of Arc Imprisoned in Rouen

Pierre Henri Revoil French

Not on view


Active both in Paris, where he was a student of Jacques Louis David, and in his native Lyon, Revoil was a leading proponent of the Troubadour style, which favored historicizing subjects of the medieval and Renaissance periods. This highly finished sheet is a study for his painting "Joan of Arc in Prison," exhibited at the Salon of 1819. In its planar arrangement and legible poses, the composition owes a debt to David’s Neoclassical manner, but Revoil also clearly delighted in rendering details of medieval architecture and costume.
