File:Antoine-Louis Barye - Charles VII, the Victorious - Walters 27164 - Profile.jpg
Summary
After French forces led by Joan of Arc lifted the siege of Orléans in 1429, Charles (1403-61) was crowned king of France in Reims Cathedral. Although he failed to prevent Joan of Arc from being burnt at the stake, Charles VII succeeded in expelling the English occupiers from Normandy after the Battle of Formigny in 1450 and from Guyenne the following year, thereby establishing the boundaries of France. Charles appears as a youth mounted on a small horse and wearing armor and a laurel wreath symbolizing victory. The statuette is mounted on a gilt-bronze socle, or base, decorated with Gothic interlace designs.
