This stained glass window illustrates the moment when Joan of Arc leaves to fulfill her divine mission.
This stained-glass window depicts the moment when Joan, a young country girl, sets out to fulfill her divine mission, watched by admiring and sometimes worried eyes. In the center, Joan of Arc, wearing a halo of armor, is mounted on a horse, holding a standard. Her face is serene, her gaze turned toward the horizon. Below, villagers—men, women, and children—stand around her. Some raise their arms in a gesture of blessing or prayer, while others seem distraught by her departure. In the background, a fortified castle, painted in blue, perhaps evokes Vaucouleurs, the place where Joan traveled to meet Captain Robert de Baudricourt. In the right background, three female figures in red and gold appear to observe the scene. The horse, painted a golden yellow, emphasizes the heroic and warrior-like dimension of the central figure.This stained-glass window depicts the moment when Joan, a young country girl, sets out to fulfill her divine mission, watched by admiring and sometimes worried eyes.
