Jeanne d'Arc i Domrémy
Jeanne d'Arc i Domrémy is a statue in Copenhagen, Denmark, depicting Joan of Arc, the French historical figure. French sculptor Henri Chapu created this statue for Copenhagen.
The Copenhagen piece copies Chapu's original Jeanne d'Arc à Domrémy, a title referring to Joan's birthplace. The young Joan stands in simple clothing here. Her thoughtful pose presents youth and the seriousness associated with her mission during the Hundred Years' War.
Carl Jacobsen commissioned the statue for the park. Jacobsen, founder of the Carlsberg brewery, supported public art and donated sculptures to Copenhagen's parks. His work connected art with everyday public space in Copenhagen. Chapu's neoclassical style gives the figure careful detail and a composed presence within the park. The statue belongs to Copenhagen's outdoor art tradition. Its presence joins French history, Danish urban space, and the European movement that placed sculpture in public parks. The title keeps Joan's birthplace, Domrémy, in view.
