This pieces joins together all three of the pieces that Hermann Stilke created into one large format; taking the viewer from the Appearance of Saint Catherine and Saint Michael to Joan of Arc when she is in the forest; to Joan of Arc in Battle against the British Forces as she is on horseback leading the troops, and finally to Joan of Arc’s Death at the Stake with the pope and high officials of both the British and the French watching her burn; all in vibrant compelling color.
