EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Portrait of Suger, Abbot of St Denis (1082-1152)", takes us back to the 12th century and offers a glimpse into the life of an influential figure. Created in 1788 by Antoine Louis Francois Sergent-Marceau, this print showcases his exceptional talent for capturing the essence and character of his subjects. The medallion-shaped portrait presents Suger, the renowned Abbot of St Denis during that era. As a statesman and advisor to French kings, he played a pivotal role in redesigning the iconic Basilica of St Denis. His contributions transformed it into one of Europe's most significant Gothic structures. Suger is depicted as a wise and dignified monk wearing his traditional cowel. The artist skillfully portrays his strong yet gentle features, hinting at both intelligence and compassion. Through intricate engravings, every detail is meticulously etched onto paper - from the folds in Suger's garment to each strand of hair on his head. This print serves as a testament to Sergent-Marceau's mastery as well as an homage to Suger's legacy. It invites viewers to reflect upon history and appreciate the profound impact individuals can have on society through their vision and dedication. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection, this artwork continues to inspire admiration for both its artistic merit and historical significance. Its presence reminds us that art has always been intertwined with politics, religion, and culture throughout
