EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment as King Louis IX (Saint Louis) presents the Charter of Foundation of the College of Sorbonne to his confessor, Robert de Sorbon. Painted by Theobald Chartran in 1257, this masterpiece showcases the grandeur and importance of this event. King Louis IX, known for his devout faith and dedication to Christianity, is depicted in regal attire with an air of solemnity. With outstretched hand, he presents the official document to Robert de Sorbon, who stands before him in humble reverence. The painting beautifully portrays their deep connection and mutual respect. The setting is none other than La Sorbonne in Paris, a renowned institution that would go on to become one of Europe's most prestigious universities. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this medieval era through intricate details such as architectural elements and period costumes. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when religion played a central role in society and education was highly valued. It serves as a reminder not only of King Louis IX's commitment to promoting knowledge but also highlights the significance of religious orders during that period. This remarkable piece by Theobald Chartran allows us to glimpse into history and appreciate the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape our world today.
