Jeanne d'Arc

Jules Bastien-Lepage French

1879

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 827

Jeanne d'Arc, die Nationalheldin von Lothringen, erhielt für die Franzosen nach dem Deutsch-Französischen Krieg (1870–71), bei dem ihre Heimatprovinz an Deutschland verloren ging, neue symbolische Resonanz. Auf den Pariser Salons der 1870er und 1880er tauchte eine Reihe von Skulpturen und Gemälden der jugendlichen Märtyrerin aus dem Mittelalter auf. Bastien-Lepage, selbst gebürtig in Lothringen, stellte dieses Gemälde auf dem Salon 1880 aus. Der Künstler zeigte den Augenblick von Jeannes Offenbarung im Garten ihrer Eltern. Viele Salonkritiker fanden, dass die gespenstige Anwesenheit der Heiligen, deren Stimmen sie hörte, im Widerspruch zum Naturalismus des Stils des Künstlers stand.
