EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a historic moment as Cardinal Mazarin, a prominent diplomat and statesman of his time, concludes the Peace of the Pyrenees in 1659. Engraved by Jean Baptiste Morret in 1790, this color lithograph showcases the significant event that marked the end of conflict between France and Spain during the Thirty Years War. In this image, Cardinal Mazarin is depicted at a court meeting where he signs the treaty alongside Louis XIV and Philip IV. The peace agreement not only brought an end to hostilities but also solidified an important alliance through the marriage of Louis XIV to Spanish Infanta Maria Theresa. Jacques Francois Joseph Swebach's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness this historical moment firsthand. The portrait highlights Cardinal Mazarin's role as a prelate and courtier who played a crucial part in shaping European politics during his time. This artwork belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is now housed in a private collection. Its significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its representation of diplomacy, international relations, and political alliances that shaped Europe's history.
