This stained-glass window depicts the martyrdom of Joan of Arc at the stake in Rouen in 1431. In the center, Joan of Arc is depicted standing on the pyre, her hands crossed over her chest. Her face is calm, imbued with serenity, and she wears a halo. She is dressed in a white robe. Red flames surround the pyre, evoking the violence of the torture. To the left, a group of witnesses watches the scene, some with fear, others with admiration. To the right, a tonsured monk in a Franciscan habit looks up at Joan with a last compassionate look. He holds a cross. In the sky, we see a white dove with a red halo, representing Joan's soul rising to God. In the background, dark figures stand beneath blue-tinted Gothic architecture, evoking the city of Rouen and the presence of English judges and soldiers.This stained-glass window depicts the martyrdom of Joan of Arc at the stake in Rouen in 1431.
