Painting Joan of Arc with Donato Giancola

I'm no good at hype --- that said, in portraying a moment in history, artist Donato Giancola has perhaps in fact unknowingly MADE history. This painting is very much destined to embark upon a fast-track to international fame and quickly escalating appreciation, in every sense. So if by any chance, the art community of France fails to seek the most honourable and dignified patriation of this work, by any and all means, I will have to assume that the painting has struck them all blind... as, I must admit, my own eyes have been somewhat stricken to swim inconsolably since I've seen it.

From my vantage point, Donato Giancola's true talent is the ability to see. His depiction of Joan "in her moment" prevents me from holding back my tears... Six centuries after Joan of Arc's birth, someone has FINALLY captured her true essence and her experience for all time!

The image has God's breath upon it. I hope and I pray that Giancola's Joan of Arc will find it's way onto French soil --- it is without question or doubt (or equal) the single most important depiction of Saint Joan of Arc ever created.

Donato Giancola's name should rightfully be forever linked with THE defining image of Saint Joan of Arc...

BRAVO,

From The War Illustrated:
The authentic cases on record where women took an active part in The First World War are many and various. One of the most notable was that of Emilienne Moreau, a seventeen-year-old heroine of Loos, who was honoured by the French Army order of the day for tending British wounded, and killing five Germans with a revolver and grenades. In a German attack on Loos she fought side by side with Highlanders and other British soldiers. General Sir Douglas Haig expressed his admiration and gratitude for her courage and assistance.

I myself think the title of this picture is very appropriate, being that Joan of Arc is most decidedly the honoured Patron of The First World War --- She was and is the defining symbol of all who served during WWI... with greatest respect... always.

600th Birthday HD Wallpaper.

600ème anniversaire de la naissance de Sainte Jeanne d'Arc --- Saint Joan of Arc was born God's Christmas Angel on Three Kings Day, January 6, 1412.

The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

Then entered in those Wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

Chaque jour est Noël depuis que je vous ai trouvés Sainte Jeanne... ma Pucelle de Noël... Merci.
