EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Armand Jean Duplessis, Duc de Richelieu (1585-1642), better known as Cardinal Richelieu. A prominent French prelate and statesman, he held the esteemed position of Minister of State to Louis XIII and became the de facto ruler of France from 1629 onwards. Painted by Philippe de Champagne (1642-1674), a renowned French painter, this full-length depiction showcases Richelieu's commanding presence. Dressed in his cardinal robes, Cardinal Richelieu exudes power and authority. His piercing gaze reflects his astute political mind and unwavering dedication to Catholicism. As a key figure in shaping France's destiny during the 17th century, he skillfully navigated religious conflicts while consolidating royal power. The artist masterfully captures every intricate detail, from the folds of his richly embroidered garments to the delicate brushstrokes that bring life to his expressive face. This portrait is housed within Sorbonne, Paris—a fitting location for an influential figure who left an indelible mark on both religion and politics. As we admire this print today, it serves as a reminder of Cardinal Richelieu's enduring legacy. His contributions continue to shape our understanding of statecraft and diplomacy even centuries later. Let us not forget this remarkable individual whose influence extended far beyond his time—his name forever etched in history as one of France's most formidable leaders.
