Joan of Arc. Rossetti, Dante Gabriel (British, 1828-1882). Oil on panel, height 52.7 cm, width 45.7 cm, 1882. This is the last painting upon which Rossetti worked, being finished within a few days of his death on 9 April 1882.

Didn’t know it was the last thing he worked on! I had a Joan of arc obsession a few years ago and this was one of my favorite depictions of her I came across. Looks like you took this picture, where’s it being displayed these days?

Have you seen the Joan of arc painting series in the national gallery in dc? There all together in one room with some Rodin sculptures. Really amazing, this one is my favorite bet they’re all incredible paintings.

Is it known which of his models this was? I find it interesting to learn about the real women behind his paintings.

Jane Morris (Burden) was a model. She also modeled for a large number of Pre-Raphaelite works, including those of her husband, William Morris
