Joan of Arc Death at the Stake
Joan of Arc Death at the Stake c1843 by German Painter Hermann Stilke (1803 – 1860) (Right-Hand Part of The Life of Joan of Arc Triptych).
This is the right hand part of The Life of Joan of Arc Triptych; which contrast sharply with the first as this powerful scene depicting Joan of Arc in the town center square, as she is being burned at the stake for doing the work of GOD.
In the surroundings we can see the church and buildings of commerce; while in the forefront we see the corrupt pope with his proclamation of her death in hand, watching along with other members of the clergy and noblemen; with a few true believers in the crowd morning the tragedy of her death sentence as she looks towards the heavens.
In the portrait Joan of Arc is dressed as simple peasant girl in plain garments with a plain wooden cross placed between a rope that goes around her waist binding her hands behind her back; and a large chain secures her to a large log that has a plaque with an inscription at the top.
She is on a wooden platform that is placed on a stack of alternating smaller wooden logs that have been set ablaze as smoke and flames rise from the bottom.
