This nineteenth-century Gothic Revival statue depicts Saint Joan of Arc in full battle dress, made from polychrome-painted plaster and wood. The figure stands 221 cm high, 82 cm wide, and 82 cm deep, rendered in a French Chateau style with silver-grey plate armour, chainmail, and a vibrant blue tunic embellished with gold fleur-de-lis motifs. She holds a tall white heraldic banner with painted religious scenes and text, along with a raised sword, while a knight helmet rests on the hexagonal base at her feet. The piece includes detailed flesh tones, sculpted fabric folds in the skirt and standard, and a signature from the maker Rouillard Angers. Suitable for placement in a spacious empty corner of a grand room, this life-size sculpture serves as an imposing focal point for interior displays. The removable sword and standard allow for manageable transportation, while the durable plaster construction suits permanent interior placement. The traditional religious subject matter and heraldic detailing complement period architectural features in large residential spaces, entrance halls, or galleries.

FAQs

Devotional statues of Saint Joan of Arc expanded significantly in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century France, particularly surrounding her beatification in 1909 and canonisation in 1920. French workshops produced detailed statuary depicting her in full suit of armour to adorn parish churches, convent chapels, and private domestic altars across the region.

French religious sculptures from the nineteenth century were predominantly crafted from plaster, terracotta, carved wood, or cast stone. These figures were decorated using polychrome paint finishes, real gilding, and occasional metal additions such as miniature swords or brass halos.

Authentic pieces frequently bear workshop stamps or inscribed foundry signatures near the base, such as prominent makers from Angers or Paris. Signs of genuine age include natural crazing in the original polychrome paint, wear to raised surfaces, and traditional construction techniques in the wooden or plaster armature.

A floor-standing or large sculptural figure creates a striking focal point when set against a neutral, minimalist backdrop or placed within an empty alcove. Pairing architectural statuary with contemporary lighting accentuates the carved details and historic painted textures.

Maintain painted plaster or terracotta statuary by dusting gently with a soft, dry horsehair brush or microfibre cloth. Avoid damp cloths, solvent cleaners, or abrasive polishes, as moisture can cause original tempera or oil paints to flake and lift from the gesso foundation.
