Statue of Jeanne d'Arc, Equestrian statue in Nice, France.

This 4.5-meter-tall metal sculpture depicts Joan of Arc mounted on horseback, brandishing a sword with one arm raised toward the sky in a dynamic pose.

Created by Atelier Missor in 2024, this monument was commissioned to honor Joan of Arc, the 15th-century French heroine who played a crucial role during the Hundred Years' War.

The statue represents Joan of Arc as a symbol of courage and resistance, reflecting her transformation from historical figure to national emblem in French collective memory.

Located near the Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc church in Nice, the sculpture is accessible to the public and serves as a local landmark and memorial site.

The sculpture became the center of a legal controversy when the administrative court canceled the contract due to lack of proper public procurement procedures, requiring its removal.
