Description

Jeanne d'Arc (c. 1412-1432) is one of the most revered figures in the whole history of France. She was also, instrumental in securing the coronation of Charles VII of France (1403-1461), who reigned the Kingdom of France from 21 October 1422–22 July 1461. Born in Domrémy, she redefined gender roles and the stereotypes around them in the kingdom, at that time. She's best remembered for her tireless efforts that were instrumental to shifting France's lead during the Hundred Years War, which took place from 1337-1453. Using her triumphant visions and powers, including teleportation, Jeanne d'Arc visited Catherine de Medici at Château de Chenonceau, during the mid-sixteenth century. During her visit, she borrowed Catherine's MacBook Pro, Dalle2, and her suite of Adobe tools—which included the first version of photoshop—to create a series of self-portraits; the surviving 12 works are sickeningly stunning, exquisitely pixelated, and glitchy.

Jeanne was that ahead of her time.
