Jehanne au Sacre, of Joan of Arc:
Prosper d'Epinay, 1902
Alva Belmont received this statue as a gift from her husband, Oliver Belmont, who felt she had many of the same attributes as Joan of Arc. The original sculpture is located at the Cathedral of Reims, in France. The "patron saint" of the suffrage movement, Joan of Arc represented a militant woman with single-minded determination to fight and die for the cause she believed in. |
