EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting by Alfred Philippe Roll depicts a pivotal moment in the history of French education as Vice-Rector Greard presents plans for the new Sorbonne to President Sadi Carnot in 1894. The scene takes place in the hallowed halls of the Musée Carnavalet, a Parisian museum rich in French history. The Vice-Rector, a distinguished gentleman with a serious expression, confidently displays the plans to President Carnot, who listens intently, his gaze focused on the intricate details. The use of rich colors and realistic brushstrokes adds depth and texture to the image, transporting us back in time to this significant moment. The Sorbonne, a prestigious university in Paris, was undergoing a major renovation during this period. The new plans aimed to modernize the institution and expand its capacity to accommodate more students. The approval of these plans by President Carnot was a crucial step in the realization of these ambitious goals. The painting captures the essence of the artistic movement of the time, with its focus on realism and attention to detail. The two men, standing before the backdrop of the museum's historic walls, represent the intersection of the past and the future, as the Sorbonne prepared to enter a new era of education and innovation.
