EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative engraving on laid paper, we find the esteemed figure of Robert de Sorbon, founder of the Sorbonne University in Paris, France. The portrait, created by the skilled hand of Balthasar Moncornet, captures the intellectual and regal presence of the man who dedicated his life to education and theology. Robert de Sorbon, a Frenchman with a distinguished beard, stands proudly before us, dressed in the attire of the time, evoking an air of wisdom and authority. His facial expression is serious yet kind, reflecting the deep thought and contemplation that characterized his life's work. Moncornet's masterful engraving portrays Robert de Sorbon in the context of his professional and national heritage. The setting suggests a grand art centre or gallery, perhaps even the hallowed halls of the Sorbonne itself. The man's occupation as a theologian and scientist is evident, as he is depicted with the trappings of his scholarly pursuits. The image also underscores Robert de Sorbon's role in royal service. He was a man of great influence, whose contributions to education and theology extended far beyond the confines of the university he founded. The regal aura surrounding him in this portrait serves as a testament to his esteemed position in French society during the late Middle Ages. This print, a precious piece of heritage art, invites us to reflect on the rich history of education and intellectual pursuit in France. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of Robert de Sorbon and the profound impact he had on the world of learning.
