EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in French history - "The assembly of the Sorbonne declare Henry III deposed, January 1589". The image showcases a grand gathering within the Museum of Carnavalet, Paris. In this historic chamber, important figures from the Parlement of Paris are seen seated in rows, lined up with utmost uniformity. The atmosphere is charged with tension as these influential men discuss and deliberate upon the criminal charges brought against King Henry III. It was his involvement in the Duke of Guise's affairs that led to this pivotal moment. Little did they know that fate had something else planned for Henry III; he would be assassinated by Jacques Clement just months later. The high angle perspective allows us to witness this assembly hall filled with individuals who hold immense power and responsibility. Only men are present here, emphasizing the gender dynamics prevalent during this era. As we observe this scene from above, we can't help but marvel at the unanimity displayed among these assembled intellectuals. Their alignment signifies their shared purpose - to make a declaration that will shape France's future. This sepia-toned photograph transports us back to late 16th century France when education and politics intertwined within university walls like Sorbonne. It serves as a reminder of how historical events unfold amidst human beings who gather together to arrange their nation's destiny.
