About the piece
Created in 1888 by Théobald Chartran, this luminous oil sketch was a preparatory work for a mural at the Sorbonne. It depicts a quiet, scholarly moment between a young King Louis IX and a monk within the walls of Royaumont Abbey. The piece is characterized by its soft, airy palette and delicate painterly technique, capturing the solemn and intellectual atmosphere of the medieval setting.
