Joan of Arc Imprisoned in Rouen

1819
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. This highly finished sheet is a study for Revoil's painting Joan of Arc in Prison (Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rouen), exhibited at the Salon of 1819. The composition owes a debt to David's Neoclassical manner in its planar arrangement and legible poses, but Revoil also clearly delighted in rendering details of medieval architecture and costume.
