Joan of Arc Imprisoned in Rouen (French: Jeanne d'Arc prisonnière à Rouen) is an 1819 history painting by the French artist Pierre Révoil.[1][2] Produced in the Troubador style fashionable in the era, it depicts Joan of Arc imprisoned in Rouen in Normandy during the Hundred Years War.

Its composition was inspired by the neoclassical paintings of Jacques-Louis David. A sketch is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.[3] The final painting was exhibited at the Salon of 1819 in Paris. Today the finished work is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Rouen, having been acquired in 1931. [4]
