EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed Cardinal de Richelieu, a prominent figure in French history. Painted by Philippe de Champaigne between 1633 and 1640, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 259.5x178.5 cm and is currently housed at the National Gallery in London, UK. The Cardinal's commanding presence is evident as he stands tall in his full-length cardinal robes adorned with the prestigious Order of the Saint Esprit. His distinguished moustache adds to his air of authority and wisdom. The crimson robes symbolize power and prestige, reflecting his high-ranking position within the Catholic Church. Armand-Jean du Plessis, known as Cardinal de Richelieu, was not only a prelate but also a key political figure during France's tumultuous times. Serving as Chief Minister to King Louis XIII from 1624 until his death in 1642, Richelieu played a crucial role in shaping France's destiny. This portrait captures both the elegance and strength that defined Cardinal de Richelieu's character. It serves as a testament to his influence over religious matters and politics during one of France's most pivotal eras. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to seventeenth-century France—a time when power dynamics were shifting and great minds like Cardinal de Richelieu were shaping nations' destinies through their intellect and determination.
