Giovanna d'Arco

1879
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 827
La figura di Giovanna d’Arco, l’eroina nazionale originaria della Lorena, acquistò una nuova risonanza in Francia a seguito della guerra franco-prussiana (1870-71), a causa della quale la Lorena passò alla Germania. Nel corso dei decenni 1870 e 1880 ai Salon di Parigi furono esposte diverse sculture e dipinti raffiguranti la giovane martire medievale. Bastien-Lepage, anch’egli originario della Lorena, presentò questo quadro al Salon del 1880. L’ artista ha raffigurato il momento in cui Giovanna riceve la rivelazione divina nel giardino dei suoi genitori. Molti critici presenti al Salon ritennero che l’apparizione spettrale dei santi, le cui voci erano state udite dall’eroina, contrastasse con il naturalismo tipico dello stile del pittore.
