EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Cardinal Mazarin, a prominent figure in 17th-century France. The portrait, taken from the illustrious Gallery of Versailles, exudes an air of authority and elegance. Illustrated by the skilled hand of James Aitken Wylie for his renowned work "The History of Protestantism" this engraving transports us back to the year 1878. Cardinal Jules Mazarin was not only a high-ranking member of the Roman Catholic Church but also held significant political influence as chief minister of France during his lifetime (1602-1661). His distinctive moustache and dignified presence are captured beautifully in this half-length portrait, adorned in clerical robes that symbolize his religious devotion. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Cardinal Mazarin's diplomatic prowess and his role in shaping French history. This snapshot into the past allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind this engraving and the historical significance it represents. Preserved within a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this piece is now part of our shared heritage. An English School masterpiece from the 19th century, it stands as a testament to Cardinal Mazarin's enduring legacy and serves as a window into one man's influential journey through politics and faith during the seventeenth century.
