EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Triple Portrait of the Head of Richelieu" by Philippe de Champaigne, a renowned French artist from the 17th century. The painting, created in 1642 using oil on canvas, measures 58.4x72.4 cm and is proudly displayed at the National Gallery in London, UK. The subject of this masterpiece is Cardinal Richelieu (1585-1642), a prominent figure in French history known for his influential role as Chief Minister to King Louis XIII. In this triple portrait, Richelieu wears the prestigious Order of the Holy Ghost, symbolizing his high rank within society. What makes this artwork particularly intriguing is its inscription: "de ses deux profilz cy est le meilleur" meaning that out of two profiles depicted side by side, one profile is considered superior. This detail adds an element of mystery and invites viewers to contemplate which profile might be favored. Interestingly, it's worth noting that this painting was originally commissioned by sculptor Francesco Mochi (1580-1654) while he resided in Rome. An inscription on the reverse side of the canvas attests to this fact. With its exquisite attention to detail and masterful technique, Champaigne's Triple Portrait captures both the power and enigmatic nature of Cardinal Richelieu's persona. It serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and historical significance.
