EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of France. In 1642, Cardinal Richelieu, also known as Armand Jean du Plessis, made his triumphant return to Paris. However, faced with cities that had doors too narrow for his grand procession, the cardinal took decisive action. In this illustration by Maurice Leloir from "Richelieu" (1901), we witness the cardinal's determination and power. With his illness not hindering him, Cardinal Richelieu compelled these cities to cut down their walls to accommodate the passage of his litigation. This act symbolizes both the strength of his authority and his unwavering commitment to advancing justice. The image showcases a fascinating blend of historical elements and artistic interpretation. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of Leloir's brush - from the intricate architecture surrounding the scene to the elaborate costumes worn by those accompanying Cardinal Richelieu. As we delve into this piece further, it becomes clear that it represents more than just one man's journey through France; it embodies an era defined by political intrigue and cultural transformation. It serves as a reminder of how influential figures like Cardinal Richelieu shaped French history during this period. Preserved in a private collection, this remarkable photograph print invites us to reflect on our past while appreciating artistry at its finest.
