EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century oil painting by Pierre-Antoine Demachy captures the College des Quatres-Nations as seen from the entrance to the courtyard of the Louvre in Paris, France. The College, a historic institution of higher learning, is located in the 1st arrondissement and was part of the University of Paris. In this beautiful work of art, Demachy masterfully depicts the grandeur of the College's arched and domed architecture, bathed in the warm sunlight filtering through the trees. The solar system, with the sun at its center, is intricately detailed in the dome, reflecting the institution's emphasis on science and astronomy during the era. The painting is filled with a sense of history and heritage, as men and women in period attire make their way through the courtyard, adding a touch of human scale to the scene. The College des Quatres-Nations, with its rich history and academic traditions, remains an important part of Paris's cultural heritage and continues to inspire and educate generations of students. This painting, now housed in the Musee Carnavalet, is a testament to Demachy's skill as a painter and the enduring beauty of Parisian architecture.
