EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the famous artwork "Allegory Sorbonne" by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. Created in 1889, this oil canvas measures an impressive 32 5/8 x 180 1/4 inches (829 x 4578 cm). The painting is a reduced version of a mural completed as part of the University of Paris' Sorbonne building. In this image, we see the intricate details of the composition, with visible gridlines indicating the transfer process from sketch to canvas. The matte finish gives it a timeless quality, reminiscent of classical frescoes. Puvis de Chavannes was a renowned French artist born in Lyons in 1824 and passed away in Paris in 1898. His works often depicted allegorical scenes and were characterized by their poetic and dreamlike qualities. "Allegory Sorbonne" is no exception; it portrays symbolic figures representing different fields of knowledge surrounding a central female figure seated on a throne-like structure. The painting's serene ambiance invites contemplation and reflection. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Puvis de Chavannes' mastery up close, capturing every brushstroke and color choice that contribute to its overall harmony. It serves as both an homage to his artistic legacy and an invitation for viewers to delve into the profound meaning behind this thought-provoking piece.
