EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the historic College of Navarre in 1440, a renowned institution located in the heart of Paris. Founded by Queen Johanna of Navarre in 1304, this prestigious college attracted students from all over Europe seeking knowledge in theology, arts, and philosophy. The image showcases the impressive architecture of the college's facade, with intricate details that reflect its rich history. The building stands proudly on the Left Bank of the Seine River, symbolizing its significance within the Latin Quarter. Throughout its existence, notable figures such as Jacques Benigne Bossuet and Jean Gerson walked these hallowed halls. However, during the French Revolution, it faced suppression along with many other educational institutions. Fortunately for future generations of scholars, Napoleon assigned it to Ecole Polytechnique in 1805. This decision ensured that knowledge would continue to flourish within these walls for years to come. As we gaze upon this print by Francois Alexandre Pernot after Oronce Fine's original work dating back to 1793-1865; we are transported back in time to witness an era when education was highly valued and revered. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who laid the foundation for our modern-day universities.
