About the Item
This magnificent original 1894 poster by Eugène Grasset was created for the celebrated production of Jeanne d’Arc starring the legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt. Commissioned to promote Bernhardt's portrayal of Joan of Arc, this lithograph is a masterpiece of the Art Nouveau movement, capturing both medieval romanticism and modern graphic design innovation.
The poster shows Jeanne d’Arc standing resolutely in her floral-embroidered armor, holding her iconic banner high as flames and spears rise dramatically around her. Grasset's composition is richly detailed yet organised within his characteristic bold outlines and stylised forms. The palette of soft creams, warm corals, and steely greys evokes medieval illuminated manuscripts while enhancing Bernhardt's ethereal yet commanding stage presence.
Eugène Grasset, born in Lausanne in 1845, was one of the pioneers of Art Nouveau poster design. His work merged medieval inspiration with modern graphic clarity, influencing generations of designers in France and beyond. This poster for Sarah Bernhardt’s production is among his most admired works, exemplifying his integration of calligraphy, illustration, and ornament.
Sarah Bernhardt, known as “La Divine,” was the greatest actress of her era, famed for her magnetic stage performances and her strategic use of posters for promotion. The text at the bottom features her name in Gothic script, reinforcing the medieval theme while asserting her celebrity brand with visual authority.
Printed by the iconic Imp. Champenois in Paris, this lithograph is a prime example of Belle Époque advertising art. Today it remains highly sought-after by collectors for its historic significance, dramatic design, and the powerful convergence of Grasset’s artistry with Bernhardt’s theatrical legacy.
