"A Second Jean d'Arc c 1412-31 or The Assassination of Marat 1743-93" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist and printmaker James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. Known for his sharp wit and often scathing social commentary, Gillray's work frequently targeted political figures and events, making him one of the leading satirists of his time.

This particular print juxtaposes two historical figures: Joan of Arc, the French heroine and military leader who played a pivotal role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War, and Jean-Paul Marat, a radical journalist and politician from the French Revolution. The title suggests a comparison or connection between the martyrdom of Joan of Arc and the assassination of Marat, who was killed by Charlotte Corday in 1793, a significant event during the tumultuous period of the Revolution.

Gillray's print is likely to be rich in allegory and symbolism, as was typical of his work. By drawing parallels between the two figures, Gillray may have been commenting on the nature of heroism, martyrdom, or the cyclical patterns of history. The print would have been distributed during a time when Britain was closely observing the events of the French Revolution with a mix of fascination and horror.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "A Second Jean d'Arc c 1412-31 or The Assassination of Marat 1743-93" would have been published by Hannah Humphrey, with whom Gillray had a long-standing professional relationship. The print would have been available for public consumption and likely displayed in Humphrey's shop window, contributing to the vibrant political discourse of the time.

The work of James Gillray remains an important part of the history of political art, and his prints are held in high esteem by collectors and historians alike. They provide a window into the political and social currents of late 18th-century Britain and continue to be studied for their artistic merit and historical significance.
