The picture on the cover of Maid of Heaven is from the famous painting of Joan of Arc by Jules Bastien-Lepage painted in 1879 depicting Joan in her father's garden at her home hearing the "Voices" of divine revelation. The original painting is now on public display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
You may notice that the colors in the picture on the cover of Maid of Heaven are much brighter and more vivid.
This is because the picture was digitally enhanced to look as close as possible to the original when it was first painted.
