EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Sergeants of the provost of Paris" captures a significant moment in French history during the 15th century. This engraving, dating back to the 19th century, showcases an apology made by the Sergeants of the provost of Paris for infringing on the privileges held by both clergy and the University. The scene depicted in this artwork is believed to have taken place in 1440 when these sergeants acknowledged their wrongdoing. The stone relief from which this image was derived was originally embedded into a wall at Monastery of Grands-Augustins and remained there until the French Revolution in 1789. This piece offers a glimpse into medieval France, highlighting not only its rich history but also its emphasis on education and administration. The tinted drawing beautifully portrays various aspects such as monuments, manuscripts, sculptures, and statues that were integral parts of university life during that era. With meticulous attention to detail, this illustration transports viewers back to a time when professions like professors played crucial roles in shaping society's knowledge base. It serves as a reminder of how far education has come since then while honoring those who dedicated themselves to advancing science and literature during the Middle Ages. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate historical artifacts like this one with ease while preserving their cultural significance for generations to come.
