EDITORS COMMENTS
This phototype print showcases the distinguished figure of Andreas Herkules Kardinal von Fleury, a prominent statesman from the late 17th to early 18th century. The photograph, taken by an anonymous German School artist in the 19th century, captures the essence of Cardinal von Fleury's powerful presence. The image is based on an engraving by Pierre Drevet and a painting by Hyacinthe Rigaud. It beautifully portrays Cardinal von Fleury as a man of authority and intellect. His piercing gaze reflects his astute political acumen and unwavering dedication to serving as Prime Minister during Louis XV's reign. Published in Dr. Woldemar von Seidlitz's comprehensive historical portrait work "Allgemeines Historisches Porträtwerk" this phototype print allows us to appreciate the intricate details of both Drevet's masterful engraving technique and Rigaud's skillful brushwork. Andreas Hercules Cardinal de Fleury, also known as Andre-Hercule de Fleury or Bishop of Frejus, left an indelible mark on French history through his influential role in shaping policies that defined Louis XV's era. This photograph serves as a testament to his enduring legacy. Preserved within a private collection but made accessible through ePurix Verlag Volker Christen and Bridgeman Images' collaboration, this remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into the past while paying homage to one of France's most notable figures
