EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Cardinal Richelieu, a prominent figure in 17th-century France. The image, taken in 1830 by an unknown creator, captures the essence of this influential clergyman and statesman. Cardinal Richelieu (1585-1642) served as Foreign Secretary from 1616 and later became the chief minister for King Louis XIII in 1624. His political prowess ensured French dominance during the tumultuous Thirty Years War. Beyond his political achievements, Richelieu was also a patron of the arts and played a crucial role in founding the Academie francaise. The engraving featured here is part of "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. It offers us a glimpse into history through its intricate details - from Richelieu's clerical clothing to his distinctive dog collar. Richelieu's direct gaze exudes confidence and authority befitting his position as one of France's most powerful figures at that time. The image transports us back to an era when religion intertwined with politics seamlessly. As we admire this remarkable portrait captured over two centuries ago, we are reminded of Cardinal Richelieu's enduring legacy both within France and beyond its borders.
