Joan of Arc depicted on horseback in an illustration from a 1505 manuscript

Known for her fierce bravery and believe in her faith, Joan Of Arc supported Charles VII and helped recover France from English domination during the Hundred Years’ War. Later she was captured by the English and burned alive at the stake when she was about 19 years a old in 1431. In  1456,  Pope Callixtus III examined the trial, debunked the charges against her, pronounced her innocent, and declared her a martyr. She has been represented in many films and books, and of course art. Take a look below at several types of art she is depicted in.
