Joan of Arc at the Coronation of Charles VII
Joan of Arc at the Coronation of Charles VII (French: "Jeanne d’Arc au sacre du roi Charles VII") is an 1854 painting by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. It is now in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The work merges the style of Ingres' teacher Jacques-Louis David with that of the troubador style. He began with a nude model, adding the clothes and armour.
The painting was first commissioned by the director of the Academie des
army which reunited Joan of Arc and the duke of Alençon to seek the liberation of the Loire Valley after the raising of the siege of Orléans. He has left, in a letter to his mother, a living portrait of Joan of Arc, of whom he was a fervent admirer. They distinguished themselves at Jargeau, Beaugency, and above all Patay, where he fought in the vanguard.
