EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of France. It depicts Armand Jean du Plessis's mother, who later became known as Cardinal Richelieu, guiding her son's first readings. The illustration, created by Maurice Leloir in 1901 for Theodore Cahu's book "Richelieu" showcases the intimate relationship between mother and child. In this scene, we witness the cardinal-to-be as a young boy engrossed in his studies while his mother attentively guides him. The image beautifully portrays the importance of education and parental influence during one's formative years. As Armand Jean du Plessis grows under his mother's watchful eye, little does he know that he will go on to become one of France's most influential figures. The composition exudes warmth and tenderness as it transports us back to a time when learning was cherished within families. The intricate details captured by Leloir bring this historical moment to life, allowing us to imagine ourselves witnessing this pivotal chapter in French history firsthand. This print serves as a testament not only to Cardinal Richelieu but also to the power of nurturing and guidance provided by parents during childhood. It reminds us that even great leaders were once children with curious minds eager to learn from those closest to them.
