EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic painting "Richelieu on the dike of La Rochelle" by Henri Motte. Painted in 1881, this oil on canvas masterpiece depicts Cardinal Armand Jean Du Plessis De Richelieu (1585-1642) standing resolute and isolated on the dyke in front of Castle Marillac during the Siege of La Rochelle (1627-1628). The cardinal, recovered from his armor and dressed in crimson cardinalice, stands amidst formidable candlesticks that defend the jetee. Despite a ball sinking just a few steps away from him, Richelieu remains impassible, focused on his purpose. In the background, off the coast, one can see the raging battle that took place on October 3 and 4,1628. This painting became an icon in textbooks and legends of the cardinal during the 19th century. Henri Motte's meticulous brushwork brings to life this historical moment with vivid detail.
