Welcome to this Exploring Art Podcast where today Alan is joined with Nicole to give you an insight on Joane of Arc, a peasant girl that eventually became regarded as a French national Heroine. Friedrich Schiller's romantic tragedy 'Jungfrau von Orleans', depicts this french heroine who dies on the battlefield, rather than at the stake like her historical prototype. We take a deeper look into this inaccuracy, which can be seen to embrace this heroine and act as a symbol of chivalry and leads us to discuss whether historical inaccuracies lessen the value of the works of art in which these inaccurate portrayals occur.
