Juana de Arco

1879
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 827
Tras la guerra franco-prusiana (1870–1871) y la conquista de Lorena por Alemania, Juana de Arco, la heroína nacional originaria de esa provincia, adquirió una nueva resonancia simbólica para los franceses. Entre 1870 y 1890, los Salones de París exhibieron una sucesión de imágenes pintadas y esculpidas de la joven mártir del medievo. Bastien-Lepage, también originario de Lorena, expuso este cuadro en el Salón de 1880. Representa el momento en que Juana recibe la revelación divina en el jardín de sus padres. Muchos críticos opinaron que la espectral presencia de los santos, cuyas voces oye Juana, no era congruente con el estilo naturalista del pintor.
