Equestrian statue of Joan of Arc

The bronze statue depicts Joan of Arc on horseback, with her right hand holding the reins while her left arm raises a sword toward the sky.

The French government purchased and installed this Paul Dubois creation in 1895, placing it at its current location in the 8th arrondissement in 1900.

The statue represents Joan of Arc as both a military commander and religious figure, reflecting her dual role in French national identity.

The monument stands in front of Saint-Augustin Church, serving as a central reference point for visitors exploring the 8th arrondissement of Paris.

This statue belongs to a series of four public casts, with identical versions located in Reims, Strasbourg, and a reduced-scale copy in Washington D.C.
