Jeanne d'Arc

1879
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 827
Après la guerre franco-prussienne (1870–1871), qui se solda par la perte de la Lorraine aux mains de l’Allemagne, Jeanne d’Arc, jeune héroïne nationale originaire de cette province, redevint un puissant symbole pour les Français. Dès lors, nombre de représentations sculptées et peintes de la jeune martyre du Moyen Âge se succédèrent aux Salons de Paris des années 1870 et 1880. Bastien-Lepage, lui-même Lorrain d’origine, y présenta cette toile en 1880. Il y a figuré le moment de la révélation divine dans le jardin des parents de Jeanne. Pour beaucoup de critiques, la présence fantomatique des saints, dont la Pucelle entend les voix, était en contradiction avec le naturalisme du tableau.
