"The Entrance of Joan of Arc 1412-31 into Orleans on 8th May 1429" is a historical painting by the French artist Jean-Jacques Scherrer, completed in 1887. The work is a large-scale canvas that vividly depicts the momentous entry of Joan of Arc into the besieged city of Orleans during the Hundred Years' War, a turning point that contributed to the eventual French victory over English forces. Scherrer's painting is celebrated for its dramatic representation of this pivotal event in French history and for its portrayal of Joan of Arc, a national heroine and a Catholic saint.

In the painting, Scherrer captures the fervor and hope that Joan of Arc inspired in the French troops and the beleaguered citizens of Orleans. The young Joan is shown mounted on a white horse, carrying her banner and clad in armor, leading the French army and exuding an aura of divine inspiration and leadership. The artist's attention to detail in the figures, the medieval architecture, and the atmospheric effects contributes to the work's historical authenticity and emotional impact.

Jean-Jacques Scherrer (1855-1916) was a French academic painter who studied under Alexandre Cabanel and was known for his historical and religious paintings. His works were exhibited in the Paris Salon, where "The Entrance of Joan of Arc into Orleans" received critical acclaim. The painting reflects the 19th-century Romantic interest in medieval history and the valorization of national heroes, which was particularly resonant in the context of French national identity and the cultural revival following the Franco-Prussian War.

Today, the painting is considered an important work in the oeuvre of Scherrer and a significant cultural artifact that contributes to the visual legacy of Joan of Arc in French art. It is often analyzed within the broader context of French nationalism, historical painting of the period, and the representation of female figures in art. The painting is held in a public collection, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical and artistic significance.
