[Jean Francoise Paul de Gondi]
[Jean Francoise Paul de Gondi] Haec Domat. Illa Tuetur.
R. Nantueil Faciebat. 1650 [after Philippe de Champaigne].
Engraving. 290 x 210mm (11½ x 8¼").
A half portrait of Jean Francoise Paul de Gondi (1613-1679), wearing clerical dress and a crucifix in a trompe l'oeil stone window. Gondi was a politically motivated churchman, elected Cardinal de Retz in 1650, and was a key player in The Fronde, earning himself the longstanding emnity of Louis XIV. Throughout his career he was protected and supported by Pope Innocent X. Their relationship proved exceptionally forunate after Retz escaped from prison, during which he became the Archbishop of Paris, and was welcomed by the Pope in Rome. Innocent X refused to let him resign as archbishop despite immense pressure from the King. Eventually, yielding to the King's demands, he returned to Paris after the death of his nemesis Cardinal Mazarin but was compensated handsomely with income from twelve estates. Petitjean and Wickert assert that Nanteuil's engraving was after the portrait by Jean Morin after de Champaigne. Frontis "Histoire des Papes" 1653.

[Cardinal Richelieu]
[Cardinal Richelieu] Armandus Joannes du Plessis Cardinalis Dux de Richelieu [...]
[after Philippe de Champaigne, 1600]
Engraving with two accompanying letterpress sheets, 17th century watermark; each 470 x 350mm (18½ x 13¾"), very large margins on 3 sides. Time stained. Trimmed nearly to image on left.
Armand Jean du Plessis, Cardinal-Duke of Richelieu and of Frontac (1585-1642), French clergyman, nobleman and statesman. Richelieu became a cardinal in 1622 and Louis XIII's chief minister in 1642. On his death he was succeeded in this position by his protegé, Cardinal Mazarin. A shrewd statesman who played a key role in the transformation of France into a modern centralized state and helped ensure French dominance in the Thirty Years' War (1618-48), Richelieu was also a great patron of the arts, whose achievements in this field included the founding of the Académie Française. From 'Les Portraits des Hommes Illustres Francois qui sont Peints dans la Galerie du Palais Cardinal de Richelieu' (1660). The book reproduces the portraits of great men (and women) hanging in Richelieu's 'Galerie des hommes illustres' by Simon Vouet and Philippe de Champaigne (although only four of the original paintings survive). This portrait, of Richelieu himself, concluded the sequence. Champaigne painted several versions of the portrait, including those in the National Gallery, London, and the Louvre.
