EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch by Jean Joseph Weerts, titled "Sketch for the decor in the gallery of the Cour d'Honneur at the Sorbonne: Fete du Lendit," transports us back in time to a grand celebration in Paris during the late 19th century. The image, created between 1894 and 1903, captures the essence of academic art and the rich heritage of French culture. The scene unfolds indoors, in the hallowed halls of the Sorbonne University, where the gallery of the Cour d'Honneur comes alive with the Fete du Lendit. The panoramic view showcases a lively procession of horseback riders, men in traditional attire, and musicians playing trumpets, all gathered to mark the occasion. The horses, with their regal bearing and pristine coats, add to the grandeur of the event. The Cour d'Honneur, located at the Sorbonne, is a historic and iconic part of the university, which has long been a symbol of education and intellectual pursuits. The sketch, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the university's rich history and the traditions that continue to be celebrated. The image, reminiscent of an oil painting, is a testament to the skill and artistry of Jean Joseph Weerts. The artist masterfully captures the energy and excitement of the crowd, the elegance of the riders, and the joyous spirit of the musicians. The sketch, with its letterbox format, invites us to imagine ourselves as part of the scene, immersed in the sights, sounds, and emotions of this historic event. The Fete du Lendit, held at the Hotel National des Invalides and the Petit Palais, was a much-anticipated event in Paris during this era. This sketch, with its rich details and evocative imagery, offers a unique and captivating glimpse into this important moment in French history.
