EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts King Francis I of France (1494-1547) in the act of founding the College de France, an esteemed institution of higher learning and research, on February 22, 1530. The College, located in Paris, France, was designed to complement and, in some ways, compete with the renowned Sorbonne University. Francis I, known for his patronage of the arts and sciences, established the College de France to foster intellectual discourse and advance knowledge in various fields. The institution was unique in its focus on professorships in humanities and sciences, attracting scholars from across Europe to teach and share their expertise. The historical significance of this event is evident in the grandeur of the scene, with Francis I surrounded by dignitaries and scholars, all gathered in the elegant Salle des Sorbonne. The King, dressed in his royal robes, holds a scroll in his hand, symbolizing the official founding of the College. The architectural details, including the intricate stonework and ornate furnishings, reflect the importance placed on the establishment of this new institution. The College de France has continued to thrive over the centuries, maintaining its commitment to academic excellence and research. Today, it remains a prestigious institution, attracting scholars and students from around the world. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the College de France and the pivotal role King Francis I played in its founding.
