Joan of Arc stained glass, Tour Jeanne d'Arc

Portrait of Joan of Arc, 1880, by Lucine-Leopold Lobin, 1837-92, polychrome glass, displayed in the Tour Jeanne d'Arc, or Joan of Arc Tower, the donjon or keep and only remaining part of the Chateau de Rouen, built 1204 by Philippe Auguste or King Philip II of France, in Rouen, Normandy, France. The master glass artist, also known as Lobin of Tours, has given Joan a modern face, modelled on that of his own daughter. Joan of Arc was tried and tortured in this tower. It is a 3-storey building with one room per floor and a pointed roof which was rebuilt in the 19th century. The Tour Jeanne-d'Arc is listed as a monument historique. Picture by Manuel Cohen
