EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of France. Cardinal Richelieu, a prominent figure during the 17th century, is seen directing the construction of the Cardinal Palace in Paris. The year is 1622, and alongside him stands Jacques Lemercier, the talented architect responsible for bringing this grand vision to life. The image showcases their collaboration and determination as they oversee every detail of this magnificent project. The Cardinal Palace, now known as Palais Royal, would go on to become an iconic symbol of French architecture. Maurice Leloir's illustration from his book "Richelieu" transports us back in time to witness this historical event firsthand. Leloir's attention to detail and skillful brushstrokes bring depth and vibrancy to the scene. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of Cardinal Richelieu's influence but also his legacy that continues to shape France today. This visual representation serves as a testament to his vision and ambition in creating enduring structures that stand as testaments to French culture and history. Through Maurice Leloir's artistry combined with Photo Josse's preservation efforts, we are granted a glimpse into an important chapter of France's past – one where power intertwines with architectural brilliance.
