EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant moment in history as Cardinal de Bouillon (1643-1715) opens the Holy Door in 1708. Painted by the talented artist Rigaud, Hyacinthe Francois (1659-1743), this oil on canvas artwork is housed at the Musee Hyacinthe Rigaud in Perpignan, France. The Cardinal, adorned in his ecclesiastical robes, stands tall and dignified with an axe by his side symbolizing power and authority. Intriguing elements surround him: coins, money, a chest of treasure - alluding to wealth and opulence associated with prelates during that era. This grand ceremony takes place within the Vatican walls where important religious rituals are conducted. Notably present is an image of Infant Christ or Jesus himself, signifying divine presence and blessings bestowed upon Cardinal de Bouillon during this sacred event. The composition beautifully captures both spiritual significance and worldly influence held by high-ranking clergymen like Cardinal de Bouillon. This stunning print from Fine Art Finder allows us to delve into history while appreciating the artistic mastery of Rigaud's brushstrokes. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage preserved at museums such as Musee Hyacinthe Rigaud.
