EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Expulsion of the Professors from the University of Antwerp AD 1789" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image, captured by Walter Paget, showcases a pivotal event that unfolded during a time of unrest and turmoil. In this engraving, we witness the expulsion and closure of the renowned University of Antwerp in Belgium. The professors, dressed in their distinctive costumes, are seen being forcefully removed from the premises amidst an atmosphere charged with tension. This powerful visual representation transports us to a period marked by riots and social upheaval. Paget's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical narrative. We can almost feel the palpable sense of unease as we observe these scholars being uprooted from their academic sanctuary. Their expressions reflect both shock and defiance as they face an uncertain future. This print serves as a reminder not only of past events but also highlights how universities have often been at the center of political struggles throughout history. It prompts us to contemplate the importance of intellectual freedom and its fragility when confronted with societal unrest. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, it is impossible not to be captivated by its rich historical context and profound symbolism.
