Description for my collection What Death Took From Us, here's Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc).
I am drawing 6 famous women from history that died in unfortunate circumstances

I had the idea for a series like this, for a long time. Then, my dearest friend Dara   said she was going to do the same thing. I took it as an inspiration, and start my series as well. Of course, Darinha's will be fantastic and very original; she has a gift for reimagining things in her uniqe and beautiful style.
Mine will be rather more historical.

Jeanne d'Arc died 30 May 1431 (aged approximately 19 years old).
She is a very controversial character in history, but undoubtedly existed. She recaptured for France, part of the territory that had fallen into the hands of the British; she helped to restore France's fortunes during the Hundred Years War, driving victoriously the French army against the British. She was captured by the Borgognoni in front of Compiègne. Jeanne was sold to the English who underwent a process of heresy, at the end of which, on May 30, 1431, she was sentenced to the stake and burned alive.

I'm kind of surprised I guessed it was Joan of Arc just from the thumbnail. I guess any short-haired blond blue-eyed woman wearing medieval armor and messed with blood and dirt all over gives off that impression. Or maybe you're just that good.

Ahahah you're definitely right. She is quite always recognizable, her features are iconic -even if we don't have first hand portraits. I guess we were all influenced by the 1999 movie
