The Appeal of the Dissident Bishops at the Sorbonne, 5th March 1717
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas print by Nicolas Vleughels. This historic artwork, measuring 21x35 cm, can be found in the Château de Versailles in France. The painting depicts a significant moment in French history when four bishops gathered to appeal against the Bull Unigenitus issued by Pope Clement XI. In this scene, we see Bishop de La Broue of Mirepoix leading the group as they challenge the condemnation of Jansenism. Seated together with determination and unity, these dissident bishops represent a defiant stand against persecution and heresy. Their meeting takes place within an ecumenical council where important decisions are made regarding religious doctrine. Vleughels masterfully captures both tension and resolve through his brushstrokes, highlighting not only the power dynamics between jansenists and Jesuits but also their struggle for religious freedom. The composition draws our attention to their impassioned plea for justice as they confront one of the most powerful institutions of their time. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Vleughels' artistic skill while immersing ourselves in this pivotal moment in French history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, individuals will gather courageously to defend what they believe is right – regardless of consequences or oppositions faced along their path.
