MONUMENT TO St. JOAN OF ARC

MONUMENTO A S. GIOVANNA D'ARCO
1935 Maxime Real de Sarte (1888/1954) French artist who was already dead when the monument was dedicated in 1954
The marble statue is a bit hidden but it has a unique and excitingly romantic flair with the long, spectacular hair
St. Joan of Arc (1412/31) reunified France during the Hundred Years War. She was burned alive as a heretic by the British and was canonized in 1920
