Bishop Brute was a multi-talented individual. Obviously he was a theologian and before being named Bishop of Vincennes, he served as a theological resource for the Archbishop of Baltimore. Of course, we also know that he was a physician.<\/p>\n

It has been known that he liked to do sketches. There are a number of sketches that were done by him, but I recently obtained some from a member of the Brute family 1<\/a><\/sup> — his ancestors, still in France, who are doing their part to make Bishop Brut\u00e9s holiness, talent and his name known to many.<\/p>\n

The sketch here, \"\"<\/a> is of Francis Charles Nagot, the first president and rector of Saint Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore. Like Brute, Nagot was a member of the Sulpicians<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nagot was born in Tours, France, on April 19, 1734. He taught in the Sulpician seminaries in France. In 1791 he was sent by the Sulpician superior to found a seminary in Baltimore. He took seven Sulpicians with him. The seminary in Baltimore struggled for a number of years. Simon Brute was sent there in 1810 and he taught for two years before going to Mount Saint Mary’s in Emmitsburg. He returned to Baltimore for a short time in 1815 as president of the college at Baltimore. It as after Nagot’s death on April 9, 1816 that Brute would have done this sketch.<\/p>\n

The text reads (loose translation): First superior of the St. Sulpice Seminary in Baltimore (Maryland, United States of America). Born in Tours in 1734 – he came in Baltimore in 1791 – there he died in 1816 – we have several works (books) from him. He is buried behind the College’s chapel.<\/p>\n
