This circular engraving, created sometime between 1705 and 1720 by an anonymous artist, is a record of the professors and administrators of the University of Groningen. The artwork features a central shield with the university’s coat of arms surrounded by lists of professors and dates that correspond with their tenures, as well as names of prominent administrators. The use of Latin text (SIGILLUM ACADEMIAE GRONINGAE) further emphasizes the artwork’s academic context. This engraving was likely used for commemorative or promotional purposes, documenting and celebrating the university’s history and leadership.
